crying? why? because your kid has grown so much so quickly? because he didn't score well enough on the G&T tests? he was a shutout from privates? the admin staff at your school was rude and got on your nerves? why were you crying? [ Reply | More

I feel like crying because I'm so grateful we got shut out for K (dc now in first). I can't believe almost committed ourselves to 30K a year for 12 years times 3 kids. I actually wonder what the heck I was thinking (and we could have afforded it but it would have seriously cut into our nest egg) [ Reply | More

No one commits themselves to 12 years of private school. You can leave a school if you're unhappy. You make it seem like a mortgage or something. [ Reply | More

NP: But I totally agree with this person. And while it's not a multi-year contract, it is tough on your dcs to pull them out if they're thriving there. I too could cry that I was fortunate enough to have the foresight to not sign that contract! (got into FC too, but obviously had massive buyer's remorse). [ Reply | More
