I'm sure  professional and graduate degree don't count as education in your world, or elite NE prep school, selective LAC, top Ivy, McGill don't count for education.  I still would not pay a farthing to send my kids to D.C. area private primary schools over the local public magnet programs simply because from my cost-benefit analysis the return on investment is not worth it.

You may of course  disagree; however, this doesn't mean I don't see any intrinsic value in education. On the contrary, I don't see alot of value in educational services provided by many of primary schools.  Performance of our students over the last 2 decades, the American economy and lack of productivity over the last decades are bearing this out.

I'm not well educated but not dumb enough to allow my children to drown under the water of educational loans to no where ($32,000/year for 12 years).  I doubt billionaire Warren Buffet would spend this on his children for primary education.  He's probably as dumb and uneducated as myself for sending his kids to public magnet schools.[/quote]
