Last Edited by Brad Daylight on 02/13/2013 07:53 PM "I have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it." ~Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes Today is a gift, that is why it is called "The Present" “When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.” - Adolf Hitler “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.” -Oscar Wilde Have a nice day, may God bless you :D |

Quoting: Brad Daylight I am 20, went through the exact same garbage as you, had to visit websites like this to re-learn everything over again. Took me two years to relearn everything they took 13 to teach. Not only is it garbage they teach us, Its ineffective. We could learn 10x the material we do in grade school. In fact we would even want to if it wasn't such a blatent prison of mediocrity and bullshit. |

While they're not cheap, they are worth every penny in avoiding the white-trash, Jerry Springer values that are being handed out to the kids today in the public schools. Also, the quality of education is generally better by at least a full year or more in what the kids are learning and where they test. It's a HUGE investment... but one that is worth every cent you pay into it - and much more. The cheapest private schools are usually the religious schools (Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian etc. If you are a member of the church that sponsors the school, you can get a big break on tuition. If you have multiple kids, you can get an even bigger break. If you are poor and a member of the church, your kids will qualify for a scholarship if you ask. The most expensive and most exclusive schools in the nation admit students without regard for the parents ability to pay. Once the kid is accepted, then they assess the parents ability to pay, and if they cannot, the kid is given scholarships up to 100% of the tuition, fees, etc. If the parents can only pay $100/mo and the tuition is $3000 per month (at the better schools it can be that high) the schools trust funds will make up the difference. First you have to show an interest and apply for admission. It's well worth the time and effort it takes to do so. Your kid could wind up getting an education that other parents are paying out $50k per year or more for. I know. My daughters' school in SF still is bugging us for contributions and donations after she graduated 18 years ago. And we do still give them a few thousand per year. They're worth it. |
