There’s a huge difference between income and spendable take home. For many, $33k is just an unreachable dream.

Multiply that by her 4 kids. That’s $132k. That’s nothing short of laughable.

Actually the tuition is $39,360/year/child. Though not noted on their website, I know from personal experience that some private schools have sliding scale for second, third, fourth child. Some private schools offer merit scholarships off of admissions testing, though I saw none of that on SF website.

As SF is a private school, things may be more negotiable that what is publicly stated.

Yes, that's true, I was just offering the available figure.

$132,000/year in primary-school tuition is a "not like us" thing. When people are not like us, they don't have to care about a lot of the issues that affect us, such the price of food, the price of gas, crime rates, the cost of insurance, etc.

I don't think there's anything wrong with people's being not-like-us, but I do think there's something wrong with how much control they have over everything that affect us but doesn't affect them. We need both a diminution and a devolution in government power: either take the authority away from them entirely, or put it at the city or county level, where the people making the decisions have to live with the results.
