[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m calling BS on not being able to earn the tuition of private school. Bank of America bank tellers start at $25/hour. That’s $52k per year. If you’re qualified enough to homeschool your kid, you’re qualified enough to be a bank teller. Costco workers make average of $55k.[/quote]

Most jobs don't pay that much and you also forget they take out taxes, social security, other things, so at best, you'd bring home $30K (depending on what taxes you pay), then take out things like health insurance, and child care and there is nothing left.  Remember people need before/after school and summer child care.  Sadly, it often doesn't pay to work.  And, you pay taxes on your spouses income level, not yours.

You really live in an alternative world if you think you can pay full private school tuition on that income.  [/quote]

Nobody is saying you can pay full private tuition.  That is why public schools exist.  People are saying you aren't sympathetic enough an applicant to get much FA.  With an elementary age child, why can't you get at least a part-time job?  People make sacrifices to afford private school all the time.[/quote]
