I really don't want to answer because I know what the comments are going to be...
But here goes.
Net income: abt 625k
Kids IN SCHOOL (not babysitting etc): 4
No scholarships
If you just count the tuition we pay, it's abt 5% of our income. About 32k. This is Lakewood...full tuition in most of my kids school is about 7K.
However, if you include additional donations to the schools, it jumps to 15% of net as we give a lot more in donations.
ETA the answer to the fourth question: no I actually don't think that the tuition they ask is fair especially after reading the articles and hearing schools say that when they charge you full tuition, that's not even the cost of your kid.
Put an option on the tuition form saying,
-full tuition 7k, check here to pay $7,000 per month.
- cost to educate your child, 12,000, check here to pay $1,200 a month.
Yes, it happens to be that we are paying for way more than the cost of our child, with donations. But if people are able to pay more, there should be an easy way for them to choose to pay the actual cost of education for their kids because I like to believe that most people want to do what's right. |
