$27k a year for school is crazy expensive, especially in the lower grade levels. 20+ kids paying that is a cool half million dollars, and for what appears to be substandard education. Then again, nearly every private school I or my friends has attended has been a bad learning environment, you pay for crappier teachers (that couldn't get hired by the school district) and get to deal with whatever tertiary motivating factor these schools have (religion, computer free Montessori schools, or experimenting with children ala AltSchool). Worse yet, in Seattle private schools are bringing back horrible diseases that were once eradicated. Nasty AF that private schools are a okay with spreading and breeding crippling diseases.
