[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is very judgmental.  College is our top priority for our family and we don’t want cost to prevent our kids from attending any particular school.  We have made choices that align with that value.  Other people have different values and that is fine too. [/quote]

Even if I started saving when my kid was born, I still couldn’t afford even 4 years of a public college. I’m a teacher. Great benefits but they won’t pay for college. [/quote]

I can see how my own post is judgmental and I apologize.   I guess my point was that the OP is judging how other people choose to spend money and how much they are able and willing to spend on college. It’s fine if the OP chooses not to do so (and from her posts it seems that she makes more money than you do) but she doesn’t need to judge others.  [/quote]

OP here-- I'm sorry if I came across as judgmental-- it wasn't my intention. I'm not judging how people choose to spend their money- I'm judging that college is so expensive that a lot of great students are being shut out, or being told that they need to pursue alternate routes to an education, or getting the message that "college isn't for you, how about trade school?" (and I'm not judging trade schools for people who actually *want* to do that). I think that state schools should be more affordable, more accessible/prioritized for in state residents, and frankly, better funded and higher quality than they are. [/quote]
