Let’s see. My cousin is sending her daughter to a Catholic high school with a yearly tuition of $10,000. Other private schools in the area are going for anywhere from around $20,000 to just under $30,000 per year. Financial aid is available, but it rarely covers full tuition. Many of these kids will go to private colleges where the cost of a full year (including room & board and misc. fees) will hit over $50,000 per year. With the gutting of funds for public education soon only the rich will be able to afford to educate their children. The rest of the population will have to settle for basic reading, writing and math – if that.
I wonder about the comments here and about this arc. For the past 30 years it seems that financing for public schools has increased dramatically, to the point that schools districts have had to get creative in order to spend it. Recently, because of economic necessity, funding has been reduced. I would guess that the amount funded is still considerably more per student than it was when many of us were in school.
I don’t know this for fact, nor do I know how to find this specific information. But I would still think that public schools are still more than capable of providing an education rather than the doom and gloom I’ve been seeing here.

Actually, she can and has put a price on it. The price was her actual participation in his learning, and she didn’t want to pay it.

And after you pay the tuition there will be uniforms, sports fees, 3 or 4 fundraisers that will cost you, etc, etc, etc.

Translation: All you can afford plus 15%. That is subject to change after they go through your financial statement.
