[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not the least bit surprised after paying for private school.  My nephew’s preschool (4 hours) is $24,000 an academic year.  My DD’s high school is $42,600.  My alma mater is now $58,195 and DH’s is $72,200.

Private schools are extremely expensive.  [/quote]

+1. After 12 plus years of “free” education in public school, lots of public school parents are shocked.  [/quote]

+2. This is so true.  Plus OP and others are determining worth of a college based on future earning potential.  There is so much more involved than how much your kid will earn after graduation.  [/quote]

My spouse went to a no name college and earns 4-6 times more than me because of the professions we choose.[/quote]
Me too. And he went to that no name college because it gave him a full ride, when he also got into Duke and Penn and those schools didn’t offer him anything.[/quote]

You can’t prove a negative.  Do you ever wonder how much better he could have done if he went to Penn or Duke?  Who he could have met there?  What ideas could have been born in those environments that would have made him happier today?

You can’t make decisions for your child based on your husband’s experience.  [/quote]
