I talked to Dr. XX at work, who has PhDs from both Harvard and MIT.

He says Harvard is about $70k per student per year, really.

But, still. As taxpayers, we can either give each kid a voucher to go to ST. Anselm's, or, for a measly $7k more, send them to public school.

Would you have appreciated a $20k per kid per year education voucher?

That is a lot less than the public schools cost, in FC.

I think it would take a platoon of forensic accountants to decifer what it costs for a public education in DC.

I would not try it.

But given that the schnooze printed it - how many folks are going, "Do say what?"

LOL. That earned me some credit, somewhere.

i have always been in favor of vouchers and i guess since my kids have never gone to public school i am just perplexed that people haven't been aware of the huge ripoff that's been going on for forever. if catholic/private schools just decided to close their doors and their students appeared on the public school doorstep tomorrow, demanding their education, they might have to scramble a bit to find somewhere to put them and decide how they are going to afford to educate them... i guess i am just not understanding your point bc i thought it was obvious and everyone knew it already. i missed the article, i have no access to the FCNP except for the orthondontist ofc and we aren't due there for another month.
