My oldest is starting school this year and I'm doubting our decision..
To be honest I have been lazy on the subject and haven't put a whole lot of thought on it, as back home (Sweden) the system is very different and you just seem to go to the local school and that's about it.
Most of our friends are sending their kids to private school but I have previously written it off as more or less just snobbery. We looked at the local state schools and decided on a small catholic (wife is catholic) school that had a very warm family feeling, dismissing the local 'trendy' school and private schools.
Have I likely hampered the kids education, or was my initial instinct right that private schools is more or less badge snobbery?
Thanks,
Fred
