[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's a big girl. When our fifth grader wanted to go to private school we told her what the cost would be and made clear that if she applied and got in it would all come down to financial aid. When she got in and the aid wasn't enough, she understood. And off she went to public school. Your eighth grader can handle it.[/quote] I agree with this. Be upfront with her about how much it costs, how much aid you need, and that you might not receive enough for her to attend. If she still wants to apply, let her. Be positive about the public school, too, so that she sees that as a viable option. Don’t teach her to not try for something she wants because she might not achieve it. [/quote]
