[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I taught in a private that was considered one of the top private schools in Seattle.  Tuition was about $32,000 a year.  I was still in school.  I didn't even have a Bachelors Degree at the time. The parents had no idea that their 2nd graders were being taught by a teacher with no degree and no experience other than a semester of student teaching.  That would never happen in any public school.[/quote]
I am skeptical. I just checked a couple of the top private schools in Seattle (Lakeside and Eastside Prep), and even today, their tuitions are nowhere close to $32k. I smell BS. [/quote]

Bush School tuition is $29,000. Lakeside School tuition is $29,000.

Well, 28,650 and 28,500, if you want to be accurate. Either way, significantly less than 32,000, especially when you consider that the supposed Seattle teacher aide worked there in some prior year when tuition was lower. [/quote]
