[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it's not lost on everyone, but increasing cost happens in Public schools too. So I was curious to look at the numbers for Alexandria City Schools where we live. (my son goes to private) Obviously I can't look at tuition cost for increases, instead I looked at the Actual Operating Budget year over year from 2001 through 2015 (2014 and 2015 numbers are Final, not Actual yet). The numbers were interesting, even including tough years 2010 and 2011 (which was due to the recession beginning in 2008) the average is almost 5% increase a year.

What does that tell me? The cost of education everywhere is increasing.
