Wait ! Private schools in the US cost $30k a year ?! I am assuming you are talking about K12 education. That is pretty absurd.

- smsm42 9y agoPublic schools also cost about $20k/year/pupil (I wrote $30 before but looks like I was mistaken). But this is paid from general budget so nobody cares too much, because tax money obviously aren't real money.
- smsm42 9y agoCato claims these figures are grossly under-estimated though [1] and the real costs may be twice as much. [1] https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/they-spend-what-real-cost-public-schools https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/they-spend...
- lawtguy 9y agoI also live in California and I also send my child to a private school which costs upwards of 30k. California currently spends about 10k per student for public education. That makes 30k sound crazy, but in 1970 California spent 5500 which is about 35k in 2017 dollars. California (and most of the US) is woefully underfunding it's schools.
