[quote=Anonymous]Oh my - talk about judgmental! When I see the fancy car, or whatever, pull out of public - - I think - wow - wish we could still do that - miss those days. Public is only bad when it doesn't work for your child. Lovely kids and great families attend public. Our kids NEED private - they need the "focus on the whole child" because what you pay for at private is individual attention aimed to bring out the best in your child, while also allowing time to "grow" into skills that are developmentally staggered. The glass half full vs. glass half empty is what you pay for in private. As for 500 K - I don't know how long you plan to work, but last time I checked with my Economist friends - all your depleted savings are likely to stay that way for years to come. Last time I checked, if you want to retire on $100 K a year, you still need a couple million saved up if you plan to live past 80. The anger reflected on this thread is ridiculous. Live your life as you want, 30K-35K per year, K-12, is a luxury. The schools do not set their prices assuming a middle class base.[/quote]
