Private. I was enthusiastic about home schooling but fell in love with a local spanish immersion private program. (They also have mandarin and french but spanish is our first choice.) The school is preK-8th so I don't know what we will do for HS.

My don was on a private school second through fourth, we didn't like how cliquey it was. He's been at a charter school since fifth grade, he's in seventh now. He does much better there. Our public schools are not great.

public. we partly picked the area we live in because of the good public schools, and we certainly pay a premium in high housing costs and local taxes, so we're going public!

Public. I want to support public schools, and the best way I know how is to send my children there.

Absolutely public. We bought a house in a exceptional school district, and pay higher taxes because of it. Growing up I went to public, private, and charter schools, and I believe that the education I received at the public schools was the best.

If we lived in an area with bad public schools, we might reconsider. I would probably look at "school of choice" options first, to see if I could elect a superior nearby public school, before going with private or charter though.
