[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the people who live in million dollar homes, drive luxury clothes, and drive luxury cars yet still send their kids to public school.  There, I said it.[/quote]

+1. It's b/c they don't care about their kids' education as much as they do about their lifestyle.  They derive status from luxury goods but don't care enough about education to get the best education money can buy for their kids.  Probably more interested in their kids' athletics and getting a sports scholarship to some state school. [/quote]

Or maybe they think their kids will get a good education in public school.[/quote]

This.

Plus, lots of families buy into good school districts, and the entry price in this area can be a million dollar home. This might astonish some of you, but not everybody can pay that mortgage plus $30-60/year private school tuition, and even a one-time expenditure of $20k on a decent used car instead if $60k on a luxury car isn't going to close this annual tuition gap. This might boggle your minds, but a nice home in a good school district can be a fine calculation for a *gasp* middle class family.[/quote]
