[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called sacrificing your material needs towards the needs of your child. Do you really want a new car or do you want to give your child a private education. You can have the car and the education if you have access to a great public school. Yes a great public school is just as good but for us it was unattainable where we lived and we could not afford to move due to work. So we commuted the longest of any family at my DD's big three. We paid full freight. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. The choice is simple if it is worth it to you. The school is not going to give you a free ride or even a reduced ride unless they desperately want your child. There is a long line of volunteers with loads of cash trying to pay full freight in front of your kid. Take a hard look at what you want for your child and then make peace with your decision.

I am trying to reconcile "could not afford to move" with "could afford to send child to a big three school".

That ~$3,000/month tuition could buy you a pretty damn nice place in Fairfax County all by itself, let alone in addition to whatever you were already paying for your home.[/quote]
