[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not buying the tuition inflation argument. There are charter schools that make do with less money than private schools. My child is in one. The public district hates it and they always try to make their life harder.[/quote]

It's not an argument, there's data:

I like how you give three sources that link to the same study that is not peer reviewed, and is basically sponsored by a think tank, which mentions in the fine print the papers are opinions and perspectives. Unfortunately educational departments are overtly politicized.

The increase in tuition is somewhat modest, and it’s expected given the price elasticity, ie more students for a limited capacity. It also matters what the tuition increase is used for, there’s not a lot of evidence that it goes all into administrator salaries. Paying effective teachers more is a good thing.[/quote]
