[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're truly "middle class" you shouldn't be attending this school in the firs place.

Face it. Private school is for rich people, period. Don't believe anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.[/quote]

This. The actual middle class in America doesn't send their kids to private school.[/quote]

Well, in some parts of the country the actual middle class can (and sometimes does) send their child to parochial or other religious schools.  In my current non-DC, west coast city (that still has a high cost of living) parochial school for parish members starts around $6,000 for the first child, with discounts for subsequent children.  There is also financial aid available for parish members.  All this makes it quite attainable.  Even our good public schools seems pretty bad to anyone familiar with public schools in other parts of the country, though, so what parochial school buys you is really just the equivalent to a good solid public school elsewhere (with the addition of religion, of course).[/quote]

Parochial schools are not in the same financial league as standard private school. You know that based on your own post about financial discounts.[/quote]
