[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously college matriculation isn’t everything, but I feel as if I have talked to parents who wish they had kept their kids in public had they known their kids were going to go to a subpar university. I have seen quite a few threads talking about grade deflation at ‘top whatever’ schools, and having concerns that it is negatively impacting their child’s admissions, then what exactly is the point of a top private school? Sure the quality of education in high school is important, but arguably you make most of your connections and zone in on your career path in college. Do you regret spending tens of thousands of dollars every year for private school? [/quote]

I’ve posted before but the majority of private school families don’t even feel the pain of tuition.  It’s mind boggling.[/quote]

+1. So many UMC families shut out. Between buying a house and paying off student loans it just seems so irresponsible to spend the money that we can finally invest in private. This year we made just under $500K, but childcare, preschools, and buying a second car killed us along with our PITI. [/quote]
