I've sent all my children to private schools and I have a lot of them. We drove older than dirt cars, rarely vacationed, did without cable, etc. We did it because we're convinced that was what was best for our kids. I don't expect everyone to buy into the private school experience but don't appreciate ignorant comments from those who don't know what they're talking about and regularly prove it with asinine criticism born out of jealousy. Might be genes (my wife's not mine), might be the education and might be a combination of both but all received academic scholarships in addition to the Hopes at the next level.
