Today's topic is a political one. Can we afford to send our children to school. Now, while I'm certainly not suggesting that we stop sending our kids to school, I would like to point out that even public schooling has become ridiculously expensive. I just started high school, and already my parents spent sixty-five bucks on my first semester supplies, $108 on a graphing calculator, and now eighty dollars on a yearbook. But, let's be fair. Without extra stuff, the yearbook is only forty-five plus tax and handling. However, let's start with elementary school:
Total Amt Spent Per Year In Elementary Schools:$20-$60
Total Amt Spent Per Year In Middle School: $60-$100
Total Amt Spent Per Year In High School: $100-$300
Outrageous? It's true though. Tally up all the money you spend throughout your child's school year on their education. It is likely more. So, just how much is this from Pre-K to their Senior year? Take a nerve pill:
$720-$1920
