[quote=Anonymous]Not PP, but Google reveals the following from a conservative policy News Blog, The Heritage Foundation earlier this year "You would think $30,000 a year would get you a decent education. For just a few thousand more, you could cover the cost of Harvard’s yearly undergraduate tuition or send your child to the prestigious Sidwell Friends School, which the Obama daughters attend." http://blog.heritage.org/2012/07/25/d-c-public-schools-spend-almost-30000-per-student/ The Washington post had a similar article back in 2008 The Real Cost Of Public Schools "We're often told that public schools are underfunded. In the District, the spending figure cited most commonly is $8,322 per child, but total spending is close to $25,000 per child -- on par with tuition at Sidwell Friends, the private school Chelsea Clinton attended in the 1990s." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/04/AR2008040402921.html[/quote]
