Must be nice to be born with a gold spoonsrooski up your ass

that's pretty cheap. One near me is closer to 100k per year
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
No, it isn't pretty cheap. The place by you is just that much more ridiculous.
ParaMachina
That's more than we are willing to pay people in the service industry.

I went to a private school for k-6, and it's worth it. Curriculum was so much better than what my friends at public school were doing
dbmeed
In grade 6, I was able to do my older sisters grade 9 public school work easily
feeltheice
had to drop out of private school after 6th grade My learning stopped when I went to public school. The only class that was work was physics
nomadkhannate
school administrators and airport security rival each other in ridiculousness.

Used to teach private Kindergarten, $17,400/year. Still had to pay a "supply fee" & buy uniforms. Sad part, I made less than $20k.
thefrayedendsofsanity
That's the Betsy DeVos guarantee.

These kids need to be able to write their own name by the time they enter 1st grade. They cannot even wipe their own ass.

shared maternity leave, children go to state subsidized day care centres for very little, then they go to school payed for by taxes
GnarlyGiraffes
Unless you have worked at a preschool you have no idea how hard a good teachers work Potty training 8 three year olds and constantly cleanin
GnarlyGiraffes
Not even all that but TEACHING. The most important aspect of it all. Obviously you can't stay home all day to teach them so they do!
GnarlyGiraffes
If you have a good preschool your child could excel tremendously! We have 4 year olds that can read and write most common kindergarten words
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Yep. Preschool is more expensive than college in some places.
SidneyHarbor
Manhattan, Silicon Valley. Places with the worst elitism and income inequality are the ones with garbage like this.
CyanideSweetToothSuicide
I work at a university that has a day care that is also used for child development/education majors to observe children and it costs 1/
CyanideSweetToothSuicide
more to send a kid to day care there than it costs to be an undergrad at the university. 2/2
Aussieausti
And school is free in australia.. you could go to private schools, but tbh no matter how much you pay, highschool is highschool
SidneyHarbor
That is extremely unpopular with some Americans because private schools are non-union. The union bosses only want gov't schools to get $$.
Aussieausti
Christ America is just full of people made corrupt by their greed for money.. fucking over the citizens to better them selves
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Do you not pay for the schools as part of your property tax? That's how we do it in Canada. There are private schools too, but those are /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
mostly either religion-specific schools or they're for actual rich people. The vast majority just go to the regular schools. /2
astrahole
And my wife works at one of those. With a college degree in early childhood. Makes a fat $12/hr. Woot woot
yubisaki
She should consider being a nanny instead. If you live near any affluent, populated city she could be making 50% more, or higher
AceLynch
Fucking ridiculous
thefeev
my boss in Boulder, CO is sending their kid a private preK school for $11k for just a yr... my 2 yr AA degree cost $6.5k at comm college!
Daloth
The most expensive private colleges are only about 45k a year, and most of them offer need based finanical aid.
tosomethisisarandomcollectionofletters
Lol 45k a year... try more like 345k a year.
alliforniaroll
There are also some that are a lot cheaper. In-laws teach at one that is 4K a year
KeatonJazz
Just imagine if they donated some of that money to the local public school, volunteered at PTA, and volunteered at their kids class...
lnsaneWolf
Wait, what?... It's a real thing? I thought it was only a common joke in serie, like a running gag. You pay 36k for kindergarten?! WTF
area42
no - pre-K
theleafssuck
This is a test for the parents and THEY FAILED.
FlappinBurgers
Taking money from the gullible helps the overall economy :)
Swinesight
I'm paying 13k for it right now.
shaynemo
Keep in mind private schools often pay their teachers even less than their public counterparts. So the question becomes, why go to private?
snarflex
It's a way for parents to vote with their feet about who's teaching their kids what. The alternative is "whoever the govt chooses."
themantle
Public school teachers spend $$$ on classroom supplies and activities. Easier to do what you love when you have all the supports you need.
RealityIsOftenDisappointing
Yep. Sounds right.

Zathras? From Babylon 5? My username is B5 derived as well. Loved that show.

The one listens to zathros!
RealityIsOftenDisappointing
Zathras is used to this...
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
That's actually pretty affordable for a private school.... There are many places in the US where full time daycare starts at $25k
DrFartstheTRex
This is exactly why my wife can't work. It's ludicrous. We live on a single income because child care costs as much as a second one.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Mine too. We'd actually lose money if my wife went to work. Pretty fucked up system if you ask me
BaaLikeASheep
In many of the places I've lived, preK isn't free or offered as part of public ed (typically starts at K) unless you're low-income.
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
My local school district does preschool for $100 a month. 4 days a week. When they're ready for kindergarten, they sit in on a day of 1/2
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
2/2 of class to get to meet their teacher, etc and the teacher does a pre assessment to determine if they can pass the test, and to let 2/3

Parents know what needs worked on.

An acquaintance of mine is pregnant and already writing admissions essays for pre-K. We live in Manhattan. Best part is she's a very (1/)
Sheprador
progressive, liberal proponent of quality free education...but yet doesn't seem to apply when it comes to her OWN kid being privileged.(2/2)
thisismyanonymoususername
you can want the best for your kids ands still want good things for others. They aren't mutually exclusive.
dogestyle
easy to be progressive when you're loaded with cash
annibe11e
Maybe she wants quality free education for people who can't afford what she can.
thisismyanonymoususername
this seems like a very reasonable take. I don't know why it's getting downvoted.
snarflex
Isn't that what everyone complains about with politicians? "No school vouchers! ...but I'm still sending my kids to private school."
thisismyanonymoususername
Let's be realistic. If I had that kind of money, my kids are the first things I'd want to spend it on.
FlappinBurgers
maximuminnovationstevejobs
That's an awful lot to make sure some kids don't shit themselves or eat the glue
IseeallofthesepeoplewithlongusernamesandIdecidedtotryitout
Yet it still happens I'm sure

i always thought paste tasted a bit like peanut butter
BillBarian
And the people who pay the tuition will howl at the thought of paying an extra .1 % on their property tax to fund the local schools
RichardAlmond
why someone that's already paying 36k per kid plus cost of public school they aren't using would be upset at spending more? What assholes.

Igotbannedforpoliticalposting
And? What is wrong with that?
goombay
Well they're already paying 36k on school
SeriouslyHowIsEveryUsernameTaken
Parents sent me to private school since I'm dyslexic and the public school didn't have resources to help. We barely had money for food...
blankman757
You better take real good care of them in their old age. Those are some good parents you got there
feeltheice
Please schools piss away so much money it's crazy.
TheRespectedContender
Maybe we needa close down the please schools and open up more thank you schools
snarflex
How about some crazy idea like giving "vouchers" so poor people can "choose" what "school" they want to go to.
snarflex
Remember when Zuck donated $150M to NJ schools and the money essentially vanished? Is property tax really going to help?

People on welfare aren't paying taxes. Also, the tax paying poor tend to rely on every cent of their paycheck. A tax hike could break them.

NoSleepTilBrooklyn
Do you have any idea of what working poverty actually is? What's stupid or cruel about needing enough money to feed your children?
codepoet2
While true... I am not sure that most in that situation realize it. They file their tax form so they think they're paying 1/2
codepoet2
Aside from the rich that inherit all, most upper income partly become that way with better budgeting and spending. They track it better 2/2
IAmAGoodPerson
Maybe cause they are paying for their kids school already. Why would they want to pay for someone else's kid?
llortamai
For the general betterment of Society? Or maybe just to be a "Good Person"..
caboops
Paying more money into the broken system won't fix it. We already subsidize education more than almost any other country.
IAmAGoodPerson
Taxes going to school isn't going to make society better. 90 percent of it is how parents raise thier kids.
absurdum123
And that's a comment from an uneducated person. Every single piece of evidence we have shows education is the single most important variable
IAmAGoodPerson
You do understand that parents are suppose to help thier kids with education. Teaching them stuff public school doesn't, goes a long way.
IAmAGoodPerson
Lmao. So how come in public school there are successful kids and drop outs? In every public school. You kid, are uneducated. Simple psych.
ChrisTallant
You didn't read the DeVos fine print? That's coming out of YOUR taxes!!!
feeltheice
Well a portion of it.
