“They feel they have no alternative because of the costs of private education.”
I’m actually not too hot on private education either...as my experience is that they tend to follow public schools way too close (kind of like Romney being liberal, but not quite as liberal as Obama).
There are OTHER OPTIONS for people...if they’re willing to eat out a bit less.
Most Catholic schools are 6k a year for K-8.
Sell the fricken boat. Stop going to Disney. Screw the stainless steel appliances. Stop the “Lordy Lordy Im 40 so I deserve a cruise”. Stop ladies night out. Stop guys night out. Stop blowing money for the football tickets and sporting events. Stop smoking $7 a pack cigarettes each day. Stop the $199 triple play for cable phone and internet. Get rid of the multiple I-phones.
Then, if its still not enough- meet with your priest and explain you are desparate to save your child from government school. Beg and borrow from family. SAVE YOUR CHILD!
