[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op - we have 2 kids.

to other posters point, $1m after tax and in NYC is absolutely not like having a money tree. NYC is SO expensive (I am preaching to the choir as you all get it and I think just the DC poster is not accustomed to our insane pricing). I also haven't always made 7 figures and private school has not been a slam dunk. Honestly if you are spending $250k pre tax income each year for 2 kids at private school, you have to be in a pretty insane income bracket to not even think about that expense. And to the points that have been made before, it's about the ROI. The thing I keep coming back to is I could have saved $600k, sent dc to a public and still probably got him into Dwight. That $600k would have probably worked harder for me elsewhere; and I did work insanely hard to earn that money and made sacrifices as most people would. If i could go back in time, I think I would not do private at least for elementary. OR I wish I'd really held the school to account a few years ago when I started asking them where he was tracking towards and they demurred. Yes it would have been uncomfortable to say - look - I need names. But I would at least have had a sense of what was to come. Having a kid who never asks for help with homework, who doesn't need to be cajoled into doing it, who has never had a tutor recommended, and told dwight as a first option is a level of cognitive dissonance no one should be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to experience.

Not rubbing it in, the K-8 played you. They knew fully well no one asking these questions wants Dwight. And they hid the reality and what they saw as the final outcome. It’s totally shabby. I’d write a comment on Niche and other review sites (Google too). [/quote]
