[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you are the type to prioritize "whatever is necessary" in education, you are not going to find what you are looking for in DC. There are jusy too many compromises, which people make in order to stay living in DC. Nobody moves to DC *for* the schools. [b]And then for college you face the lack of any public option[/b] ... This isn't to say you can't get an adequate education, especially for the very little ones, but if it is your #1 priority ... yeah, you probably aren't staying in DC. [/quote]

DC TAG actually makes this a better deal for DC residents as you have hundreds of options, not just your one state school or system.

Not in terms of money! DC TAG is 10k; out of state tuition is up near 50k at some publics now. [/quote]

It's ridiculous the amount hasn't increased.  My neighbor sent her son to college in CA for almost the in-state rate using DC TAG -- 15 year ago!  The 10K hardly puts a dent in out of state tuition now.  [/quote]

To be fair to DC, state colleges have been pumping up their out-of-state tuition enormously in the past 10 years.  10 years ago California probably charged much less.

shouldn't the 10K be at least 15K now, just taking basic inflation into account?[/quote]

You would think. But it was a tough enough battle getting it reauthorized and funded at all. No one in Congress is getting any thanks or credits for helping out people who dont' live in their states or districts.

An increase isn't likely.
