[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid will be grateful when the PTA mom's kid has to go to a state school because they don't have any money for college and your family does. THat's how it worked our in our house.[/quote] At our house, our kids earned high GPAs and SAT/ACT scores so were awarded lots of merit scholarship money to make college affordable, even though we did not qualify for need-based aid. Mom was never in the PTA but did volunteer lots of hours at school/Scouts/sports. Every family has their own set of values and priorities which work for them. [/quote]
