[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for reaffirming our decision to move DD from a W-area elementary to an all-girls private. It's costing us $50k+/year, but she's in  a class of 18 kids and no behavioral issues.[/quote]

I guess if what’s what you need to feel good at night. Just don’t do the math on if you invested that 50K each year to see what it would be when you retire. Or ask what they pay their new teachers. I was so poor when I taught at an independent school as a new college graduate that I tried to see if I could qualify for SNAP, and considered using a food pantry. It didn’t pay a living wage - yet 4 of my students parents were on the Forbes’ billionaires list. [/quote]

That was me my first few years teaching in public school. My kids got free/reduced meals, free preschool, etc. Years later, they both have gotten Pell grants for college. Those are for students who display “exceptional financial need.” So I’m still poor all of these years and experience and education later. [/quote]
