[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need to talk to your wife about her concerns and discuss affordable options. Other PPs have noted parochial schools as an option and I think you said it wouldn't make much of a difference. I would price out some options near you. I think they are way less expensive than $35K per year. Also, look at tutoring and dual enrollment high school classes if the concern is educational quality. You can also look at nearby enrichment opportunities. Does your county have any magnet schools or special interest schools (AP v. IB or school of arts) that would give you some choice within the public school system? The bottom line is that you can't afford 6 years of private school for two kids. You just can't. And your wife is clearly going to have strong feelings about that for awhile. But I think you need to listen to her concerns, take them seriously, and then work together to figure out how best to address them. [/quote]
