[quote=Anonymous]If you are paying sticker price for a school like American vs. going to UMaryland, I think the author has a point. But, he conveniently misses the fact that for most middle class families, many selective private schools are going to very much in line with the costs of state schools due to their extremely generous financial aid. I guess it depends how you define middle class. If you are of the DCUM mindset that anything below $250K is lower-middle class, then sure, you're going to be paying a lot for these private schools. But, We have a HHI of $120,000, which is not poor whatsoever and an income I always thought of as solidly middle to upper-middle class, and my daughter was able to go to a top 20 USNWR school for LESS than what our state school would have cost her.
