Still somewhat guilty.

My husband and I have 2 girls who are rather more intelligent than those in their age group. This was picked when they were 4-5 years old, since they were 7 they have been in private school education.

Under scholarships, bursaries and sports development programmes. Although we are very happy with how their education is progressing. I still feel somewhat guilty that I am taking the place of students who are more suitable for private school education.

Sometimes I fear that the school will call us in to say that there has been a mistake and the girls will have to leave and return to public school education.
My husband says that I am being silly, but understands where I'm coming from.

What are your thoughts, please be kind.
 
I understand how you feel, imposter syndrome hits me at times too. The feeling of thinking that you don't deserve something can be a bit immobilizing until...well it just stops. Personally, I try to count my blessings and remember where I am at, which helps me remember my place and what I have to do.
 
It sounds like you're setting up your children for success. You're the one who facilitated their suitability and they'll thank you when they're grownups.

Private schools tend to produce better performing and higher earning members of society, BUT it heavily relies on family support, social circles they participate in and career networking. If a child has above average curiosity level, they'll naturally take advantage of greater resources private education has to offer. More focused mentors, more opportunities, smaller classes for more dedication to individual students, etc...
