[quote=Anonymous]Unless your DW is planning to be a SAHM forever, if you have the combined HHI of 100-200K, and ONE CHILD, then, no, I don't think private school should be off the table.

Do a little reading yourself about education. We chose private because the public schools in our area had classes of 25+ kids for Kindergarten (when kids can't read yet, so it's not like they can do a lot of work independently), only had 15 minutes a day of physical activities (unless it was a PE day and they had to learn fire drill rules or something, and then none), was based largely on worksheets, and focused on standardized tests that were given 4 times a year.

That was not the experience I wanted for my DC's introduction to formal school, and since all the publics were under the same state mandates, off we went to private.

Maybe your schools are better suited to children's actual learning needs, maybe not. But it is interesting that what's not on the table here is DW moving to a higher-paying career. I suspect that even if she did so, OP would see any additional money as needed for every other financial priority; he doesn't want to spend money on private school under any circumstances other than money-to-burn, and that is as irrational a position as hers.[/quote]
