[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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] But it's also quite disingenuous when you've apparently framed things as a false binary choice between "$120k/year for 14 years" and public school. There are tons of options in between the two.[/quote] And still above many families’s means. Whether they send their kids for only lower school, only middle school, or only high school, $40k/yr is a huge undertaking for many. Have you read the way families are freaking out on DCUM about their lack of tax refunds this year? And in just a few short months, they will need to pony up for next year’s tuition. People need to live their wage.[/quote]
