[quote=Anonymous]I would love to send my DD to private school and have seen a few I really love, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out how this could be at all feasible financially.

The schools are so expensive, and we wouldn't qualify for a need-based scholarship. We are scraping by but don't have that kind of money to spend year after year, and we have two kids (one is a baby).

I stay at home now with our baby and would like to for at least another year or two. Going back to work would give us a second income, but it would also mean increased childcare costs. My DH works in government and makes a decent but not huge salary, and before staying home, I worked at a non-profit and made very little. I do have an education background (though more admin than teaching), so I guess getting a job at the school and free/reduced tuition could be a goal, but that seems like a long-shot and hard to plan for, especially since my older DD would go there for a few years before I'd start if I stay home with our younger kid.

Any thoughts? How do you make this work if you don't have a lot of extra funds? Is it worth it?[/quote]
