[quote=Anonymous]The influx to Deal as opposed to private schools is partly due to the recession, but mostly thanks to the sky-high tuition that private schools are charging. Very few parents can afford $20-30,000 a year PER CHILD. When my three siblings and I graduated from Lafayette and went to private schools, my mother's salary as a teacher could cover all of our tuitions. We lived on my father's salary. I very much doubt that could happen today--at least not in this area. That said, there seem to be long waiting lists and no shortage of students at private schools, so some might say the schools are just charging market prices. We were priced out of the market long ago. Even if we received financial aid for HALF the tuition, we could not afford private schools for our two children. And you always ask yourself if the school is "worth it."[/quote]
