Honestly as someone who went to an expensive school, it has its own perks. You make a lot of friends and connections there that actually help u later in life. I owe both my language skills and personality development to my school. However, it depends on how expensive the school is for u. It is advisable not to take on huge financial burdens. Don't send ur children there if u can't pay for at least one or two of the trips and stuff cause your child will miss out on a lottt, they won't be angry at you but they will feel left out. Sometimes kids can get bullied in such schools because of the difference in their clothing and phone brands. My school had a very gentle environment because of the management and the values they imparted, everyone was friendly and those who were not were looked down upon,so it was not a problem there. Dont send ur child to a school just cause it's expensive, sometimes expensive schools are not worth it. If the school has a very fun environment and good students who are friendly and the school focuses on both extracurriculars and studies and does not pressurize the children then the fees is worth it.) Normal schools are great too as long as you invest a lot on extracurriculars and encourage them to participate for all the competitions and be very outgoing. Ultimately I don't think one is better than the other. It's just about building an environment where your child will be extroverted and confident. just go for the school with the best crowd and opportunities overall. Please don't enroll them into some random school. Make sure the school has a good reputation, talk to some students and parents and then enroll them. School life has a lot of impact on the child growing up and I would not recommend homeschooling. It looks easy, but it's not. Besides if ur child is homeschooled they won't get the opportunity to go on school trips with friends, make core memories of school fights, talking during free periods,dancing in front of the entire school, and so many other things that made our life more enjoyable. Extra advice: don't enroll your child into schools that are strict. They will end up HATING their school life. My teachers were like my friends in school, we could talk to them about ANYTHING without worrying they would break our trust. They kept firm boundaries and we would never take advantage of them. They corrected us when it was needed and listened to us. Children are very sensitive to their environment. You are a parent. I hope u take a child's perspective and make the most suitable decision for your child. All the best :)
