RE: Children - they’re expensive!

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Private schools weren't even an option when we were considering education (partly because we probably can't afford it but mostly because we don't think they're worth the money and after finding out fun things like they both charge exhorbitant fees and then apparently cried to the government about how unfair and disadvantageous to their students it was that public schools get funding and they don't they also get government funding I now refuse to deal with them on principle).

I did somewhat consider independent schools (community/Steiner/Montessori type) but only briefly.

If you're in or move to a good area the public school will probably be good (sadly you need to be in a "good" area for the public school to be good) then you'll be fine :)

But yes kids are freaking expensive anyway after you factor in activities and food and things even before thinking about things like schools XD

Sort:  

We just bought a place in a very good public school area. Which kind of lead to us thinking more and more about having kids. Before living here we were more career focused than anything else.

I tend to agree that private schools are largely a rip off. And most are religious as well which is something I really don’t like.
