To contemplate private education for DS?

He's just started year 5 so we have a good 18 months before we really need to start worrying about it. But the local fee-paying school had an open day today so I thought I would go along and have a nosey round.
And it was a really lovely school. I think he would be happy there.

I have no money, but his paternal grandparents have said, more than once, that they would be prepared to pay school fees for him. I have always been of the opinion that it might be better to put the money aside till he goes to university - or takes up training for a non-academic future or whatever.

I went to a fee-paying school myself, though obviously that was not a decision I had much of a say in. It was OK. But that was more than 30 years ago and I'm aware THings Have Changed.

mark I was not really addressing your comment in particular, rather the myths that abound on MN with regard to private education. One of which being that if you are not hugely wealthy you will feel like the odd one out. Apologies if it seemed that I was responding negatively to you as this was not my intention.
