[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tutors and prep classes for 3 kids who went to MCPS magnet schools and are in STEM fields now. Allowed us to not pay for private schools and live in a beautiful house that was very affordable in a fantastic area with not-so great public schools. [/quote]

Lots of non-magnet kids in STEM fields. Unless they got serious scholarship money to a top university and are now rising stars in their fields, you’re not seeing a return on that investment. [/quote]

[b]What are you babbling about? There are many more unfilled job opportunities in STEM fields than non-STEM fields.  A few tutors is a small price to pay.[/quote][/b]

This.

Magnet programs are rigorous and are well worth the effort to get in. You also get a better education than private schools (in our experience) without the price tag.

We saved money on private schools, kids got thousands of dollars in merit scholarships, and they were able to get admitted to rigorous and high paying STEM fields in college and able to handle it.  They have well paying jobs and their lifetime earning potential is pretty good.  All at the initial investment in K-12 education per child of &gt; $3K.  The monetary ROI is phenomenal, I cannot even begin to calculate how this education it will benefit their own families for years to come.

There is no bigger wealth than education.
