These are obviously generalizations, but it gives you an idea of what you might be paying for if you send your kid to private elementary school in Los Angeles.

2.    They are clean and well-staffed

3.    The curriculum is typically cutting edge, based on the latest research and best practices

4.    The teachers are motivated, well-educated, caring, creative and smart

6.    Teachers can be hired or fired as needed

7.    Technology is an integral part of the curriculum

10. After the first year, you will no longer be impressed by 20,000 sq ft. mansions (unless you live in one!)
