<p>giterdone–no, I really don’t think it is a wise use of money when the public schools in the area are as good as or better than said private school. You really don’t think that parents factor in getting into a “better” college when they shell out that kind of money for K-12?? Like I said earlier, if they were stuck in a town where public schools are very substandard, different story, but that same $300,000 could be used to buy a house in a better neighborhood too…</p>
