Because 18 months into private education I do .
The school is excellent. Mostly the children are lovely. Results superb. My children seem happy and are doing well...
BUT
I can just never quite convince myself that I can really see the £3K a term's worth of value over and above our local state school.
Although DH & I agreed together to move the kids into this school, he was much more keen that I was (he went to private, I went to state...).
And of course I now look at the £18K a year going out and think what else that money could be used for...
I can't imagine changing the DSs school again though, and we definitely want to go private for secondary, as the state schools at that level are abysmal.
I just wonder if many people are feeling the same right now, but are too proud to admit it?

Parents with children in private schools - tell be honestly - (namechange if necessary!) - do you wonder if you should have 'gone state' after all?
