And I recognize that I'm beyond fortunate to be able to provide an alternative to my kids. But I also pay into the same system as everyone else. At the very least, I appreciate getting (nearly) the same back out of the system as everyone else (yeah, yeah, the childless pay in too - don't worry, you'll make it back from the taxes paid by my offspring).

Would you still send your kids to private school if your fees were 50% higher?
