The 5 Spheres Roadmap When Determining Whether a Public or Private Education is Best

The 5 spheres provides a roadmap to organize, evaluate, and problem solve whether a public or private school education is the best decision for you and your child. In this episode, we discuss the importance of evaluating the 5 spheres when determining a child's educational path.  The physical, mental, financial, social, and educational spheres. The financial sphere seems to be the most critical in this decision for many. Are you in a financial position to invest in a private school education for your child or are you trying to "keep up with Joneses"?  What is the educational return on your investment with regards to your school of choice? We discuss the mental pressure and stress on a child from the educational curriculum as well as the want or need of a spiritual and religious component in a school.For many, considering the physical sphere is a priority as physical fitness and competitive sports may be at the forefront for the child.  We also discuss the cultural and societal social pressures of choosing between a public or private school education and how succumbing to these pressures can create an imbalance in one or several spheres for you and your child. We both grew up with different experiences - one always in the public school system, and the other with a mix of a public and private school education.  We share our opinions regarding our social sphere connections as well as the pressure we put on ourselves to excel.  The educational sphere is at the center of this discussion as one evaluates their spheres - the return on investment in the educational sphere must be balanced with one's physical, mental, financial, and social spheres. www.the5spheresoffit.com
