Public Schools versus Private Schools »
Not so very long ago, we made the decision to enroll our kids in a private school. Though I've never particularly been against private schools, I haven't really been for them either. I always figure that they were a bit unnecessary. But we made the decision, and with just about every day that goes by, I'm glad that we did.
Today, for instance, we received a letter from the school our oldest was supposed to attend (the public school, I mean) saying that we need to send $20 the first week of school to pay for a locker fee (not to cover the lock, but just to have a locker), student handbook, an academic enrichment fe and a team activity fee to "provide recognition, rewards and team-building actvities and items throughout the year". What a crock. At least with private school you know you're paying.
