[quote=Anonymous]Can she articulate why this is so important to her? I'm wondering if it cuts deep to primal fears about not providing "enough" for her children, or to the ego's need for the status of a private school. Do you have friends at the public schools who could give you a (positive) run down? Can you tour the schools? I don't know your political leanings but listening to Nikole Hannah Jones' podcast "The Problem We All Live With" really hits home the important of public schools and the damage caused by self-segregation. Would that line of argument be persuasive to her? Honestly a $500-$1k deficit EACH MONTH seems insane. If she can't be mollified by your arguments, could you move to a public district she feels better about?[/quote]
