It is honest though. If a SN private is best option and you want it for your child, then you dramatically cut your expenses, increase your income witha new job that pays more or take on an additional job, and apply for financial aid.

If you don’t want to or can’t do those things, then you figure out how to make public school work for your kid.

It isn’t different than other financial decisions: buying a home, paying for college, or buying a new car. Sending your kid to private school is a luxury, be it a SN private or a non-SN private. Maybe that isn’t how it should work, but you have to work with our current reality. [/quote]

It was not a luxury sending our child to private for a few years.  [b]We did a cheaper one we could afford but it was a necessity. [/b] We got a huge run around from the school system to enroll our child let alone get services and by the time we paid an attorney to fight it in terms of time and money we were better off paying for private services and school.

My husband did get a better job.  Not much else to cut, especially housing.  [/quote]

If you are in the D.C. metro area, can you please share the schools you found that were cheaper. DC desperately needs to be in one of these schools but there's no way we can afford $40K/year.[/quote]

There are some SN schools in Mt. Airy and outside Baltimore (aka Glenwood Academy and Legacy school), and I think the Chelsea School and were a tad cheaper, but wayyy far from our house and the reviews are very mixed.
