My jaws dropped seeing my brothers high school tuition...

Forget all you, I have went to a private school since K and loved every bit of it.. Just gotta engage and quite complaining ;)

By the way, my college is a little over 40k a year.. But than again its a medical school and I got some scholarships so its all good
 
Unfortunately with the current education system if you want the best education you must pay for private school. The public system is full of students and teachers that just don't want to be there.
Maybe some other states are different but you would end up with the same education if you stayed home as you could get in a Las Vegas public HS.

I went to catholic school k-12, it was pretty much a joke. Too focused on uniforms, making students go to church and other religous indoctrination to provide well rounded academic content in other areas (i.e. math and science).

Same thing with the high school my brother is going to, but they also focus on their football a lot too haha.
 
Actually my brother got into Georgetown because he went to a public school. However, if he was to go to Philip Exeter, he could have easily made it into Harvard or Yale. In the end it's how ambitious you are because I know a few that were Ivy Leaguers and make no where close to my brother (investment banking). Or you can go and work for Google where a Cornell grad makes about $23 an hour hahahhahahahah.
 
Drive and ambition have more effect than education pedigree. Though the two can be synonymous. If you can get into an Ivy League from public school then you have the drive and ambition to get through and succeed in life.

I've seen people from really **** public sysytem in Harvard and I've seen upper class schmucks in community college after top tier private high school. It's about the students and the parents not the prep-school. Private school is often but not always indicative of involved parents, so for that reason alone the success rates are higher.

Regrettably the current system is rapidly sliding into a morass of failure and indifference. This is even in really good public school systems as being PC and peoples' feelings take precedence over success.
 
In comparison from the people I went to private school with, to the people I know from town and public school, the people who went to private school turned out to be much more successful. Not to say there are not plenty of success stories from my public school, but a lot more of the people were into drugs and never went anywhere. Morals and what you are taught in school does play a part in one's success. But, clearly anyone with drive and ambition who can keep their head on straight will succeed given the tools to do so.
 
there is a private school here that cost more to go to per year than the state colleges around here. its k-12. so im sure your kids 3rd grade education was worth 25,000 but now what to do since your broke from paying it. lol

What are they giving the kid at that school that justifies 25K? As opposed to 6k.
 
My rents waste 20,000 a year for my "priavte school" it's way to easy and all they focus on is religion and how "short" your hair has to be. Everyone there acts like a snotty rich kid. Can't wait for highschool....
