[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools are not making a profit - I have attended my head's meeting on the budget where he goes over all the expenses and then shows enrollment and then shows what tuition has to be.  I have simplified it but basically I left realizing that it costs a lot to run a school.  Health care, basic benefits, salaries, facility set costs, FA take up a majority of the revenue. I don't see schools having a choice unless they pay teachers way less and risk not having great teachers or drop FA altogether. I don't like either of these options so I pay the tuition.[/quote]

+1 While I've never attended a school board meeting, I've been on numerous boards and find people complain about cost without a real perspective of the budget and what things cost. While I agree costs are outrageous, you don't get something for nothing...yeah it sucks all the way around, but it's not the schools mismanagement of funds. There are things the $40K schools offer than they $20K do not (i.e., daily prepared organic meals, all field trips included, all books included, etc.)[/quote]
