I usually get the lame excuse that "we can't afford" private school....blah, blah, blah... I know...I used to believe the same thing.

When I was finally convinced (10 years ago) that my son's education was more important than a new car or vacation....it finally dawned on me that I could afford private school.

Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that way. And the culture doesn't help. It would be great if kids had academic game shows in prime time and if other people, like scientists, etc., were also regarded as celebrities worthy of more tv face time. Constantly focusing on superstar actors, athletes and singers does not send the best message to kids. (Or parents.)

In the fall I start down that road with my first born.

As both I and my wife also got the private school education starting in 1st grade and onward we both believe in it.

From 7th grade onward I was working a little to help pay for it.
