I'm not planning to have kids for another 10 years or so, but I think it's criminal to send kids to public school.

just buy a house in one of the better suburban school districts and you'll be just fine.

no one needs private school unless they live in a pure shit area.

Name the gun massacres at private K-12 schools.

Administrators can expel misfits at private school, and the kids are so busy jumping through dumb hoops that they don't have time for real trouble.

they happen more often at public schools because public schools are usually 3-4x the size.

to be fair, if you're that worried about someone coming in and shooting up the school, just homeschool your kids.

A lot of problems, particularly with discipline, set in when the class size gets too large.

I also mentioned Columbine because of the culture of bullying at public schools. I'm not opposed to bullying per se; a little bullying can encourage kids not to act like complete social fuck-ups. But public school bullying seems to enforce prole conformity and niggerish behavior, even in lily-white suburban districts (magnet schools are an exception).

If I didn't work all the time, homeschooling would be a viable option. I could hire tutors, but my wife would have to be on board with supervising. By high school, though, I think kids belong in boarding school.

No. Latest evidence suggests that your kids future grades in school are likely highly determined by genetics.

I don't doubt general intelligence is genetic, but grades come down to work ethic and environment.

depends on where you are--absolutely worth it to avoid ghetto bullshit

also worth it if your kid is "special" and cant cut it in a sink or swim environment where nobody gives a fuck about his problems

Lol at the retards in this thread. Ask yourself this, do you want your kid to grow up with, go to school with and form lifelong friendships with the children of wealthy families, who will be their social network in adulthood, or a bunch of losers and strivers like the fags on this bort and their less successful classmates who work in gas stations?

this, although its more about preventing your kids from hanging out with the wrong crowd. people worry about overdramatized shit like getting stabbed at a public school, but the reality is, if your kid decides he "fits in" best with a bunch of bozos who surf the internet all day, it's game over.

is this entire thread an elaborate joke? unless the local public schools were SPS (and i mean truly bottom of the barrel), i would NEVER consider sending my kids to private school. what would be criminal would be to have them spend their formative years around masturbating elitist dweebs like the ones ITT
