[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a major sacrifice for us and is worth it.  We have never questioned it.[/quote]

Even this terminology is really bizarre to me.  I have never heard somebody utter "Harvard is a major sacrifice for me, but worth it", yet folks use that terminology all the time when discussing private ES/MS/HS.  It's not a sacrifice if it's worth it.[/quote]

...I do not see what is unclear in their statement. Paying a large sum of money- for private MS/HS, boarding school, or Harvard (especially vs in state tuition somewhere like W&M or UVA if you're in VA) is a sacrifice because one must forgo many other things or a completely different lifestyle that could be purchased with those funds. There is a reason some people pass up fancy cars, large houses, new gadgets, eating out, etc. to make sure they can pay even if it means really cutting into everything- because they consider providing the best education for their child/ren to be more important. It being worth it does not negate the fact that they had to sacrifice a lot to do it. [/quote]
