[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our private school taught our kids how to capitalize and write in complete sentences. [/quote] That’s what you are getting for $60k a year? My neighborhood Catholic school teaches that successfully in first grade and their students are crushing MAP scores. [/quote] Which DC Metro private schools charge $60k/year?!?[/quote] There are a few at 56 or so per year and when you add in the rest it is darn near 60. [/quote] Just say you’re wrong and move on. My children attend Sidwell. While the cost is high ($55,000), Sidwell does not nickel and dime you. Outside of books, that cost is pretty all-inclusive (laptop, lunch, sports uniforms, yearbook, etc), unless your child elects to participate in special activities. Even the books have been fairly reasonable—about $300 to $500/year.[/quote] Sidwell is neither the best school nor the most expensive. Just recognize you have limited exposure to the full range of possibilities associated with this question and then STFU. Seriously. Your answer could not be more wrong or more pompous. [/quote]
