Someone keeps posting this.  Which of these schools charged only $16,000 five years ago?  [/quote]

Again  your deliberately posting the lowest tuition you can find ( half of 32K) to try to minimize the impact tuitions for 2013-2014 of $ 39,750 are having on families ( not just leaving schools their kids love, but impacting the quality of their family life as UMC parents work more and more to be able to foot such an outrageous bill ( 120K for 3 kids in elementary school).

Read the thread, several NCS alums contributed as just one example. Yes, tuition has nearly doubled in last 6 years, at many schools. repeating it hasn't and comparing the lowest tuition you can find on line ( last year's number to boot) doesn't change that.

Of course, every parent who has had a kid in private school for at leats 10 years knows this is true. Your denying it over and over does  not make it untrue.[/quote]

Actually, I asked this question.  I think this is the only thing I posted on this thread.  Further, I didn't post the "lowest tuition I could find."  My child is at his fourth year at a private school and I know for a fact that their tuition has not come close to doubling over the past five years.  I actually took the $32,000 figure someone cited for a big three (which is about $6,000 more than we pay) and took half of it.  My dc's school does charge more for the upper school, but those % increases have been about the same.  I believe others have posted tuition #s from some of the big three from five years ago and proven that they haven't "doubled."

So, I'll rephrase the question: Which of these schools that are charging $39,750 now charged $20,000 five years ago?  (Apples to apples -- same upper school to upper school, for example?)

There are tuition increases, but you only harm your own credibility by repeating claims that are demonstrably false.  [/quote]
