That is the price of a nice private college per year - tuition, room and board, plus airplane trips back home to visit the folks.
Over the course of K thru 12 the price can be somewhere close to $400,000 per student.
All taxpayer money, that is from us.
$400,000 would easily put anyone through medical school.
A lot of schools are looking to fill seats - for the tax dollars. Theyre looking for warm bodies. Tax dollars paid per body.
