[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]one of my kids is in 10th grade at SFS, been there since 3rd grade.

My husband read this thread and he bought up this idea to me last night.  We have three more kids that are currently in 6th, 4th and 3rd grade.  Instead of spending 125k/year to send them to SFS, why not keep them in Fairfax County Public School (e.g.  Churchill ES, Cooper MS and Langley HS)?  We can use that 125k to hire the best private tutor in all subjects. [b] I mean literary pay someone to come to our house and help them with their school work.  That is a much better ROI in the long run, right?[/b]

Of course it is.  You could instead spend 20-30k on tutors and save 90-100k into your private brokerage account.  Besides the fact with a decent public school you shouldn’t require many tutors if at all.  I went to a solid public school and my parents only had to hire a tutor for me for calculus.  Because my parents didn’t choose private they have an extra $1 million invested to use for medical care or for me to inherit.  You really should only send your kids to private if money is no object.
