Went to a public (gov't) school for primary and private for high school and always assumed that I'd send my kids to the latter
However, I recently discovered that the local public high school is rated as being one of the best schools in the state and is really progressive in many areas e.g. International Baccalaureate programme, relationship with university under which gifted kids can do tertiary courses whilst still at school, etc
Assuming that the administration of the school stays the same (and that is a problem with gov't schools), I'm starting to wonder whether I should be spending 30k per year on each kid for a private education when a perfectly good one is available for virtually free
