[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what extracurriculars? what vacations? A flight to Europe to spend a month on grandmothers couch?[/quote] My child is in lower school so we are talking young kid - the extra curriculars are usually mulitple dance/gymnastics and sports classes - all private. Some with private coaching on the side. The private summer camps also. Vacations - it usually ends up being at least one big Disney trip, cruises, trips to ski, trips to the beach - in fact the destination doesn't matter when you are paying air fare for a family of 4 or 5 - 3 to 4 times a year it adds up to a lot. [/quote] And actually your post illustrates my point - a flight to Europe even for just one kid is going to cost a couple thousand dollars when all is said and done - the flight plus other travel expenses and parents like you don't feel they need to give up that trip but instead they need to get a couple thousand in finaicial aid instead to cover the tuition[/quote]
