My kids are younger than the one in he OP. The price we pay for tuition for pre-K and 2nd grade at a private school stings more than a bit. That said its the only complaint I have so far and for that am happy. Things like described in the OP is the reason why plus things important to my wife and I can be taught at a private school that can't be taught in a public school. When I started college one thing I noticed is that the kids from private schools made the adjustment to college much faster on average. Plus, when mom and dad are paying a healthy sum for even grade school they have, generally, higher expectations for their kids and the the faculty/institution.
