[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the argument for people either choosing a high mortgage rate or private tuition is stupid.  A home is a long term financial investment and a child's education is not.  Apples and oranges, stop using this argument as a rational for paying high tuition costs.  It's not a valid argument, and if you actually DO the math, it reinforces the argument against private education. [/quote]

It's not stupid.  And you're right - it DOES reinforce the argument against private education.  You want the best schools for your child - they are found either in private or in the publics in the more expensive parts of town.  This is true everywhere, not just in DC.  I moved out of DC and where I live now, I couldn't find a house in the most sought after school districts that wasn't a falling down 100% gut rehab POS because EVERYONE wants to live there for the schools.  They pay more for the house so they can go to nationally ranked publics and not pay tuition.  Are you actually arguing that this is not, in fact, the case?  [/quote]
