[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an elitist environment.  It’s the reason I never wanted my own kids in private school.[/quote]

That a it of a broad statement.  Not all schools are filled with elitists.  Maybe places like GDS and Sidwell, but my child's small parochial is hardly elitist.  What's wonderful about private school, is you can choose the one that suits you, and if none do, there is always public or home school.  A lot better than only having public school as your option (which is the case for those who cannot afford private).  Enter school choice and vouchers.[/quote]

When the cost of walking in the door is half or more than what most people make in a year, yes they are full of elitists.

I know this forum likes to pretend that $500k/year is lower middle class but get real.[/quote]

Like I said, not all schools are filled with elitists.  AND not all schools cost "more than what most people make in a year."  My daughter's school is under $10K a year.  Most people make quite a bit more than that and [b]financial aid is available for those who don't.[/b]  So PP, you are wrong once again.[/quote]

You say that as if $10k/year is a sum the average family can afford. Here’s a hint: it isn’t. It may not be $40k, but it’s still far out of reach if the average household.

Did you read the whole comment?  See bolded above.[/quote]
