[quote=Anonymous]I do blame the boards of these schools though. Most of the boards are made up of wealthy individuals who do not understand the squeezing of the middle class. And by middle class, I mean people making like $200K. Try sending two kids to SFS on that income. For people who take home $10,000 a month, you have to assume that a minimum of $2000 goes to rent, $1000 for food and incidentals, and maybe another $1000 for health insurance, car insurance, car repairs, etc. That leaves $6000 a month if you buy nothing at all (no clothes, no vacations, no camps) and it is not enough to put two children into private school. Those people (and those who make a bit more) are getting squeezed out and it's hurting the schools.[/quote]
