We took the plunge and decided to send my oldest to a private high school, the local Elementary school has been incredibly disappointing. The public system here is run by a ruthless teachers union where they make 6 figures, work to rule and retire at 55 so they dumb down the curriculum, it's an absolute shit show of the highest order.
We don't have the whole crime/stabby/behavior issues here that some of you seem to mention, more a totally ambivalent teaching cohort. So given I am taxed at 53% I need to find $45K pre-tax to send him to school after pumping money into public system that has failed us.
