re: OT parents - do you prefer public or private schooling?

Depends on the city. We send our kids to a very good public school here in Memphis. My wife is a physician and we could send our kids to a private school but our 3 are getting just as good an education in their school as they would a private school. My wife has at 7 doctor friends that have taken their kids out of private and placed them in the same school as our kids. We have family members that send 3 girls to one of the all girl private schools in Memphis and they pay close to $65k a year. I'm sure they're getting a good education but I feel my kids are getting just as good an edu if not better. Plus I want my kids to experience diversity. Their school has that. How diverse can it be when all the kids look them same, drive high end cars their parents buy them and 95% of them are the same race. It's all in what you feel is best for your kids. If it's private then great, if it's public then great.
