Thinking About Sending Your Child To A Private School?

Sunday October 29, 2006
Now, this is not a rant against public schools. Far from it. There are some great public schools. Indeed my children went to a couple of great public schools. They had a good experience. No, what I am getting at is that gradual awakening that many of us parents have as we watch our children grow and develop in school.

We begin to wonder if we can do more for them, if the courses could be more challenging, if they are being exposed to enough stimulating intellectual discussion, et cetera. At that point we begin to explore our options. A private school education has a lot of advantages to it. But how to make that nascent dream a reality, that's the challenge, isn't it? Read 5 Tips for Choosing the Right School for my take on the process. If you have a comment, please add it using the link below.
