[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that no one has mentioned that these are also used as financial investments. They hold their value, and can often result in a higher margin if you sell it than many other investments. [/quote]

Seriously. I own a B35 and K25 and also send my kids to private school. One of these is much more of an investment than the other!! The private school money is gone forever...[/quote]

That is sad you think an expensive purse is a better investment than education.  [/quote]

It's sad that you don't understand that private school tuition isn't an investment at all. It's a luxury good, and one that I can never liquidate. Which is fine, I can afford it for my kids and they're having a good experience, but let's do try to be clear-eyed about it. [/quote]

Maybe you should put them in DCPS instead.  [/quote]

Why? They’re enjoying the luxury experience and I sure appreciate being treated like a client and not like someone in line at the DMV—especially in the pandemic. But it’s very obviously not an “investment.” [/quote]

You can’t be serious? You really do not realize all the advantages provided by attending a good  private school;  social connection, education quality, and the opportunities it provides/opens.  What advantages in life does a Birkin provide? [/quote]

I’m not sending my kids to private school because of “all the advantages.” I do it for the experience. If there are any actual long term  advantages, which I am skeptical are real, that would be gravy. But it seems to me it’s just a more coddling and pleasant school experience, both for me as the parent and for my kids as the students. As PPs point out, there are plenty of high quality publics in this area, but my husband went to an elite pressure cooker selective admission school, and we wanted to opt out of the downsides of that experience. 
 
Bottom line, the ROI of private school is iffy. But I’m very sure I could sell my Birkin tomorrow for what I paid if not more. [/quote]
