[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an expenditure many of us make without any expectation of "return" or "outcome."[/quote] I'm a GDS parent, and I have to say, that's a dumb statement. [/quote] Agreed. I do expect an outcome. It is NOT about college admission to a specific school or set of schools. It IS that my children will emerge from their school years with a love of learning, strong problem solving and communication skills, a sense of the world around them and the agency they have to contribute to making the world a better place, and a good sense of self. This can be true regardless of their personality, their academic ability, or the college they end up at. These are outcomes. If you are saying you have NO expectation of any outcome, I'd ask why you are spending that kind of money on school? And, I think it's reasonable to ask how much stronger the outcomes will be at a given private compared to the public option.... and, based on the answer to the disparity of that experience, if the pricetag is worth it.
