In this episode, we reconnect with Bernadette Castaneda, a Compliance Manager in the Bay Area and mother to a 25-year-old son, whom we last spoke with on Episode 11. We take a deep dive into the decision-making process between public and private schools, discussing the factors she considered, the trade-offs she navigated, and the pros and cons of each option. Bernadette also shares insights on what ultimately worked for her family and advice for parents facing a similar choice.

🎧 You can also revisit Bernadette's previous appearances in Episode 11, where she recounted her journey into the tech industry and the joys and challenges of raising a young child, and in Episode 75, to hear about her experiences guiding her son through the teenage years and assisting him in navigating significant decisions, such as selecting schools and academic majors.
