[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HHI is 500k and we chose not to put our three kids in private. It would not have been fiscally responsible for us to pay $120k/year for 14 years to attend schools that are not 40k better than our local schools. We can enrich them with so much more including tutors, travel, and fantastic camps. [/quote] and driving luxury cars? to each its own, some don't mind spending on their kids education. What are they learning from camps anyways, apart from the usual sports activities that they engage in all the time[/quote] Nice try. No, we do not have luxury cars. Our cars are paid off 7 and 8 yr old vehicles. Camps are enrichment whether you agree or not. And no, they are not all sports camps. Some are sleep away, some academic, some are just your basic outdoorsy camps. My statement above was to say that many parents are spending beyond their means for private school when it is NOT necessary. Sending my kids to our neighborhood school just makes more fiscal sense to me. [/quote]
