Why is it wrong, if you can't afford to pay $40K a year per child for PK-12th to save money and hold off paying the $40K+ until high school? Seems like the smart thing to do and perfectly acceptable to me? If you don't make enough money to afford $40K+ per child every year then why go into debt doing so? Any financial planner would tell you that is the wrong move. Hold off until high school or lower school or middle school, which ever is the most important to you. These schools are not all or nothing, lots of kids enter in later years.

If they are taking up a spot so they can save money to say join a country club, I would say that is wrong and says a lot about their priorities. It is especially wrong if they took a slot of someone that really wanted to attend because they are dedicated to attending Catholic schools.

If they truly couldn't afford another private that is differnt than saying they can't afford it but actually just spending that money on a very expensive country club instead. I can't imagine any top privates would want families whose priorities were so backwards.

I agree completely. I think this says a lot about a family’s character and priorities. How would a school know this was the case though?
