To Lisa,

My oldest attended a private school last year in the Denver area–the cost of the annual tuition was $6500. If private institutions knew that parents had a $6000 check in their hands to spend on schooling, and that’s all they could afford, you bet your bottom, you would have schools popping up all over where the tuition was $6000. Also, a private school will squeeze more out of those dollars than the government schools. Those schools would be results oriented because they know you could take your money and go elsewhere. You get a better product with competition.
