[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools are more expensive here because more people have a lot of money.[/quote] Yep, it's a market economy. Schools charge what people can spend. In addition, schools have competed for the super wealthy by adding all sorts of luxuries that don't impact the quality of education. Many of these things were added during the economic boom, but they're still being paid for today. As a middle income family, I can remember being on a tour and walking into a multistory high beautiful glass enclosed art studio for elementary school students, that presumably had cost a ton to build, and now was costing a ton to heat, and to keep those sparkling windows clean. I thought, I can imagine making major sacrifices to get my child a smaller class, a curriculum that I believe in, etc . . . but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that without also needing to impoverish myself for pretty windows and high ceilings.
