I can understand why private schools are becoming more popular. People with the means who want their children to have a quality education are abandoning the public systems. Personally, I am saddened by this as it will weaken the public school system but having seen what passes for education now I can't blame them. I know of one family where both parents have good jobs but are not wealthy. They send their four children to a private school ( the kids live at home) and their youngsters are doing very well. The parents feel it is worth every cent it costs them. There is no down side for them; their children are happy and thriving and sleep in their own beds every night. I think there will be more schools like this in the future.
