Can you imagine? (Sorry, bigshots in the district buildings, nothing for you guys!) LOL Amy, tuitions are still going up but that should cover it. Janet, I'm sure you'd put it to good use. Tori, thanks! TF, you could do field trips every week. Thanks, all!

Tori, thanks!

TF, you could do field trips every week.

Thanks, all!

There isn't a museum in the world we couldn't get to for $13,000 per child! Think of the field trip to museums we could take.

I enjoy teaching them. But the allotment of funds has a lot to be desired. What's crazy to think about is that this $13K doesn't go to the child directly (like in a homeschool situation). It goes towards salaries (but not the teachers...the lowest paid people in the school, I believe). It goes towards buildings and bills (oh my). What I wouldn't give to be a super for the day...
