[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complaining about not being able to afford private school tuition is like complaining about not being able to afford first class airfare on a plane.[/quote]Why? Schooling is a necessity[/quote] But private school is NOT a necessity. In this country we consider universal public education to be a social good and we provide it. Is it the best education available? Maybe not. But it is supposed to meet basic criteria. Like a bottom of the barrel car meets basic safety criteria. Private school is a luxury. One that I wish to give to my child for a variety of reasons. The price is one reason why we decided to have only one child. With just one child, the tuition and aftercare are more than our mortgage. If you can't afford it on $200k+ income, rearrange your priorities and either don't send your kid to private, or make other sacrifices to make it work for you.[/quote]
