The rising cost of education

Published by User Image Kim at 2:01 pm under kids, School

I can’t completely understand why it costs so darn much to put your kids through school. Not only do you need to purchase new school clothes and books at the beginning of the year, but there are tons of expenses that come up during the school year. It’s bad enough that you have to pay this all out for one child, but if you have two or three in the school system, you could end up broke. The kids have only been in school for less than three weeks and it’s starting to cost us a fortune. First of all you need to purchase the books, supplies and clothes. Next you have student fees and agendas. If that isn’t enough then comes out requests for money for trips, school lunches and school books. Sometimes we have a difficult time dishing out all this money, so I can just imagine what it’s like for someone who doesn’t have a whole lot of spare cash, or for someone who has three or four kids in the school system.

When I was looking for a preschool for Madison, most of them were around $2000. This is for 3 year old preschool!! I too wonder what all that money goes for.

Needless to say I found one way cheaper, and that is the one she is going to.
