[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I really the only one so far, as of page 4, who understands that a lot of these DCPS "by choice" parents in actuality cannot readily afford $70,000 - $104,000 after tax for private school for 13 years? [/quote] Several acknowledged that. I am a Sidwell alum and we are public (MoCo) by choice so it's not a money thing for everyone. Of course for all those people anxious to get their kids into Sidwell and other popular schools to put them on the path to the Ivy league and prosperity, what does it say when many of the alums can't afford to send their kids there?[/quote] Some of us also went to Ivy after prep school... and grad schools, etc yadi yada... so would like to do the same for our kids. Much harder to do than for our parents but that still doesn't assuage the guilt. My DH likes to joke that we are downwardly mobile...[/quote]
