If I was rich and cursed by having kids, i'd tell them to stop wasting their time in school altogether and learn how to multiply their money online.

Regardless of being rich or not, if my wife and I had kids, they would most likely be going to a Vatican-1 Catholic school that many believe is "radical" and "extreme".
Even without that risk, homeschooling is still better if the parents are smart, because many of today's schools are generating idiots by passing failing grades and ignoring comprehension in favor of memory.
When my kids were in school the schools were actually really good. When we looked for a home the public schools was one of the things we considered. My town was very highly rated in both the standardized test and the percentage of students that went to college. Thibgs started to go bad just as my youngest was graduating. Then after Covid it is not very good at all.
@exitseven I came from England. My sister was already doing early algebra at 8. It was a culture shock coming to the states and asked to draw rainbows. The public schools in the states are a joke. Repeating the same inane topics year after year. Everyone in the US should experience schooling abroad, even briefly, just to understand what they are missing out on. A full education (from a ripe early age.)
USA schools became complete garbage around the mid 2000s when they started the "no child left behind" movement, where even kids who failed at passing their highschool grades were allowed to graduate.
From that point on it progressively became more and more dumbed down.
The problem is that most of the portion of generation x that were intelligent, never had any kids, and the ones that had children were mostly a bunch of highschool dropouts that retained almost nothing from school, and their children just did not care or could not get help from their parents in understanding their homework. So when millenials started failing to graduate en mass, the government gave up and lowered the standards for passing.
There were a few outliers scattered about here and there that enjoyed learning on their free time, and talked to smarter people and did studies and experiments and arts, and read reference books on science, and watched nature and natural history and technology documentaries, etc, etc. (myself included), but it's reached the point where I feel like an immigrant in another country, even though I was born here.
The culture just isn't the same, The United States just isn't an education oriented culture anymore, its mostly a faith oriented one.

But religion school they don't have a good progress or good teacher
They would prevent the whole "LGBT" doctrine from going into their heads
If I were rich and married with kids, we'd homeschool.
private school if it has smaller classes n good teachers
I wouldn't send them after primary, they learn better with tuition than any school environment
So are you ready to see your son only one month in year?
State primary then no formal schooling other than the aforementioned tuition
I've taught in both, and private all the way
But private school have 14 program+ they study two months of summer
No I'd still home school. Even private schools are full of pedophiles.

Agreed
Yes, but you shouldn’t have to be rich to send your kid to a private school.
Even if I WASN'T rich! At least they'd LEARN STUFF there!!
Like what (in your mind)
The stuff they NEED to learn! The stuff they're GOING THERE to learn!
I did put them in private until highschool
So how was your feelings when you see your children one month in year
I see my kids every day, they still lived with us they just went to a private school instead of a public school
Ohh okay
Because i was talking about international school= Boarding school ( her we called them private school)
Yeah boarding school is different then reg private school.
A good public school.
Why 🤔
I don't want them to grow up uppity and full of themselves. I want them to be as normal as possible.
Yeah good point of view 👍
Nope. Waste of money.
But they will have best education
Not true. It's the bs they sell you.
Nothing better than a good private school.

@Sameone I believe you are confusing private schools with boarding schools.
No because her in Europe we call boarding school= private school or Swiss school.
Not all private schools in Europe are boarding schools.
Most of them like 60%.
We have.
Normal school= free (from 8/9 morning to 13/14 pm depends on country)
Part school= not free ( from 10 Am to 14/16 pm )
Private school (boarding school)= 70k to 110k € depends on programme u want ( 11 months ) ( 1 month vacation if you want to take u chirldn or no )
Maybe your school. You are confused about others. Take care ✌🏻
Nope, home schooling all the way.
