> it is a cheaper alternative to private school
That depends. Often it means one parent stays home to educate and watch the kids, otherwise, someone else has to, and that usually costs money. If a wife otherwise would bring home a decent salary, then it isn't cheaper.
- bell-cot 11mo agoSubtract the costs of daycare, summer camps, etc., etc. from that salary, and "decent" can become a pretty high bar.

In my country daycare is subsidized. Notwithstanding, it's not that high of a bar. Two-income households still bring in more net money despite expenses. There is no "etc etc" in this context, we're talking about watching the kids while parents work.
