[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never complain about it. But if I ever [b]mention that we're not willing to pay higher than in-state prices[/b], I get attacked for that position. [/quote]

[b]This is a lightning rod sort of statement. [/b]You can avoid attacks by filtering what you say. Why not just stick to a simpler narrative - my kid goes to X school. It's nobody's business why.[/quote]

Why?  It's a consumption, like everything else.  It's perfectly fine saying that you, personally, are not willing to pay for first class tickets, brand name cereal or designer eyeglasses.  Nothing controversial here - you are entitled to your spending preferences.[/quote]

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't go around saying out loud to other people what I am and am not willing to pay for (including all of the other things you mention). Sure you are entitled to your preferences - but when you start saying those things publicly it's going to draw attention. If you don't mind the attention, go for it. But you said people attack you and it seemed like that bothers you.  So, if it bothers you that you are attacked for saying you won't pay for your kids to go to an OOS school - I suggest you take a different approach and not mention that. Everyone is different - if you like to lay it all out there - go for it (and I have no problem with that).  [/quote]
