Uh huh....I can see how down to earth the Sidwell Friends parents are. Let's see, $26.5k for elem and $32+k for high school and maybe another $5k per annum expenses if they rough it. Comes to about $340k for 12 yrs. Course the families you know that have two students need to come up with about $700k for the whole ticket. What a relief it must be to the parents when they finally go off to college where top tier tuition is a mere $42-$45k per year, about $170k for the four year ride, not counting spring break expenses.

Half a mil plus of post tax dollars min, why that's chump change.

Funny how the DC public schools before home rule and teachers unions produced so many admirals, generals, top tier academics and business folk. My tiny HS of about 500 somehow managed to produce two astronauts along with educating various cabinet member off spring along with those of foreign embassy staff. You wouldn't happen to know how many Sidwell grads were drafted during the Viet Nam wars years would you? My memory gets fuzzy but I seem to recall that being the hot bed of HS protests against the war.

I suspect the average Sidwell parent makes more than I do. That doesn’t bother me. Why should it bother you?

Voucher the schools in DC and I could afford Sidwell too. That’s what bothers me.
