Good on you. Can I suggest that you write this all down on paper, and walk door to door delivering this information. Then run for school board, and require that all funds being spent are revealed to the community. Here I thought it was about $6000 a year to educate a child.

By the way, does anyone know the cost of a child at the Hillsdale Academy in Michigan?

Better than going door-to-door, I got it published on page 2 of the local liberal rag. LOL.

My son is going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. We pay nothing. For his first year there various subsidies paid about $40K of his bill. He has about $20K in student loan debt.

Before he decided on ERAU, he was accepted at both Hillsdale College in Michigan and Patrick Henry College in Virgina. He made a quantum leap from majoring in constitutional law to aeronautical engineering. One of those things you can do when you are 18 or 19 and have no responsibilities besides yourself.

I think the discussion about college costs has to take into account all the scholarships and government money that are available out there. Last August Newt Gingrich had a program on FOX about the rising cost of college tuition, and it's all because of the subsidies that are available whether the student is needy or not.

So the question really needs to be--does Hillsdale take federal loan money to pay for tuition? And the answer is--No. They do offer private scholarships. And they are less expensive then you may imagine. As I remember, Hillsdale charges around $18K a semester.
