Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that I don't believe my tween daughter needs an underground athletic facility that rivals those offered in the Big 10 in order to receive an "education."  I am then understandably peeved when DH and I receive the slick marketing literature and calls informing us that our $30,000 doesn't cover the annual amortized cost of that Big 10 underground athletic facility.

Your tween daughter may not find it important now, but she may in 9th or 10th grade.  Or she may not find the gym important, but the drama or arts facility might be of her interest, while the gym may be integral to some of her classmates.  Either you like the academic offerings, or you don't.  Either you like the facilities, or you don't.  The thing to remember is that, unless one is at a public school, somewhere along the line, parents got together and pooled money to buy and/or build the facilities your child is using today.  Many schools in DC have recently undergone transformations from their campus plans from the 1950's to a 21st Century model.  This is true of Maret, GDS, Sidwell, NCS, St. Albans, Field, Burke and others.  It is all optional.  You can always send your child to another school - there will be plenty of people who will appreciate what your are finding fault with in the quote cited.[/quote]
