Ouch curval!  that is a lot...  I am feeling a little of the pain since I am putting my grand daughter through catholic school...  we have the worst public schools in the world in the US...  

If you love your kids here you got to get em out of public school.

it's hard to beat the catholic school system for dollars spent to value received.  they do a good job of educating kids.

Personally I think that one's real education begins until middle school.

Kindergarden is mostly social and motor skills
Elementary is mostly social and basic skills (mainly math, music, reading and writing)

Middle School though, is where their education 'gets serious'.


Why pay for private schools before middle school is something I do not understand. If your kids cant read,write,add,subtract and do basic 2-digit multiplication and division before they are 10 then something is clearly wrong with the parents and the school itself (but mainly the parents IMO. Sending a kid to school is not an excuse for not being involved in their education).

So... send them to public school and save that cash for their college I say ;)

your not doing too bad as far as cost. When I was in prep school my parents were paying 36,000 a year just for me.

I understand completely Ripval.  It's costing me $50,000 for my daughter's caviar fees at school alone.  For some reason I feel compelled to show complete strangers on the street the cheque I wrote out to cover bill....then I point and laugh at them.

In most cases that I have seen college ends up being cheaper than private school. Mostly because there are 8 million scholarships available, but also small colleges are usually around 20k for tuition plus room and board. books are another story, I have a book that I need to buy next semster thats going to set me back 1100.

I guess you are just a weenie.  US$15k per kid per year is tantamount to highway robbery.  I'm glad he posted this.

you seem rather envious of the haves. is that because the people's republic of canada wants all to be have nots?

Uh no.  It's because he is stinking rich and I'm not.  Nothing deeper than that.
