[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is the better bargain: paying tuition at a private school, or paying tuition to go to a public school at a neighboring district? I would guess, maybe, that if paying tuition at a public school was such a bargain, lots more people would do that instead of sending their student to a private school. You never hear about huge waiting lists at the public schools, as far as I now.[/quote] :roll: Public schools don't do waiting lists. Instead, people pay big bucks to buy houses in desirable school districts. The price phenomenon you're wondering about can be seen in the $100,000 or $200,000 spread between prices for similar houses in Bethesda or Potomac vs. a bad school district. God, some right-wingers are stupid.[/quote] Several public school divisions in this area are regularly approached by parents/guardians seeking admission for their children on a paid-tuition basis. It generally does not happen because, notwithstanding the views of the PP, most of the divisions in this area are over-capacity and do indeed have waiting lists for their own resident, eligible children.
