[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, what do public school parents spend on a vacation each year?

Our entire family vacation budget is around $3K. Do people who send their kids to public schools really spend $3,500 per person on vacations?[/quote]

Nope. But we will this year for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our kid to go to China to reinforce all that he's been focusing on for the past 4 years. We're giving up most birthday and holiday presents, and "extras" to make this happen, including a family vacation and some home projects next year. We're alerting family members that our son's goal is to go to China, so in lieu of presents the typical "givers" can donate instead. We're looking at having a big yard sale and some lemonade stands to raise money. Allowance has been stopped to go to the fund instead. 
We're also going to work with the school to help with fundraising so that all kids whose parents are willing to participate can go too.

This is how it's done in the real world, people.
