(NY) Imagine paying 60,000 bucks for your child to go to high school

[HannoCometh]

Trinity School - New York City




60,000 bucks is about €56,000 or £47,000.

Imagine what you could spend 60,000 bucks a year on instead lol

[nothingshocking]

60K is a drop in the bucket for some people who want to ensure their kids don't go to school with someone like Hannocometh.

Especially since you can just move to Connecticut or New Jersey to one of the rich white suburbs that have some of the best public school in the country.. and you aren't living in **** hole nyc.

[xxAchillesxx]

Upper West Side private school. To be expected.

[Azzurri]

I'm sure the parents who are sending their kids there probably don't make 50k a year.

These schools are for the elite.

[Slurgie]

Good feeder school to the Ivy League along with Dalton, Spence, Horace Mann, Riverdale, Regis, Chapin, Brearley, etc.

Never heard of any of these schools

Connecticut and New Jersey aren't what they used to be, I'm told. There may have apparently been a gradual exodus over the years from the "rich white suburbs", I hear...

It’s all relative. 60k can be a yearly salary for one person or a weekly paycheck to another. If you can afford it, private school is by far the better option for your kid. Public schools suck.

That's because you're a lower breed, peasant.

I bet you're from a dinger country...like the UK lol

I'll have you know that I was educated off-world, in one of the best high schools in the Solar System. Tuition would have been well out of anyone's price range. For US$650,000 a year, you'd get the best teachers, the best views (of outer space), field trips to distant moons, Mars and Venus and lessons in orbits of different planets. Then there'd be the grand end of year parties in the Kuiper Belt. Not to mention, the main school campus itself was situated within a Needle-Wheel (an "Elysium"-style habitat incorporating elements of a Stanford Torus and a Von Braun wheel).

As I said, well out of the price range of the likes of you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go; don't wanna miss the hourly shuttle to the Moon.

Exactly. When you make $5M a year paying $60K a year to make sure your kid goes an to Ivy League is a no brainer.

These people think they are special

They live in a completely different world

I rem handbilling on 5th Ave few years ago

Here come these 3 rich young sloots ,you can tell


They literally looked at me like I had 3 heads

[DesiredUserphag]

Can't imagine having a kid and DEFINITELY can't imagine paying for that kid's HS or college LMFAO. NOTHXJEFFFFFF

[JPG13]

Just more parents that don't want their kids growing up in a racial jungle

[WHChampion]

lol @ the paying a babysitter 60k to watch your child fingerpaint

[xxAchillesxx]

Ha, I remember redoing the Dalton School's entry lobby floor back in like 2008-2009. New (back then) form of 2-part poured epoxy floor, including clear over their inlaid logo, which was really cool. Chit cost like $250,000 from what I remember.





Best part was it was done over their Easter break. Right before then it was Earth Day, and they had some big assembly in their huge auditorium. All the kids were walking past these vats of Part A, Part B, etc. toxic, harmful, hazard labels... on Earth Day lmao

[BrightThru2014]

Those schools send like a third of their student body to HYPSM (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT). The unspoken secret at elite undergrads is that 50-60% of the student body (and this number is probably more like 80-85%+ for white students who don’t benefit from affirmative action) went to top private schools. This is part of the price of entry.

Source: went to an elite undergrad and a reasonably prestigious boarding schools for HS

There is some truth to this. Its called living in your own bubble. Everyone does it to a certain extent.
When my kids went to school we struggled with the decision between public and private. There were pros and cons to each.
Ultimately, the main con for private that tipped our decision was that I didnt want our kids growing up in a complete bubble where all the kids at their school had rich parents and everything was perfect for learning.

For that I gave up a better education academically but I hope my kids grow up a little more open to people from different walks of life. My kids still live in a bubble (as I said, we all do) but its really just a matter of which bubble is the right balance.

[x-trainer ben]

Not all that go to private schools at this price point and level get into ivy league schools. Some go to Indiana, Boston College, Clemson, UVA, and normal schools as well. I know several and although they are good kids some of the prep schools are academically good but overpriced.
SOME cost more than the 4 year university that they attentend.

[OliverHeldens]

$60k isn't that much for someone earning more than like $3M per year. And I'd assume most parents of these kids are earning more than that.

[Duckliver]

Lol high school would be easy that’s only four years.

Kids kindergarten costs 25k atm and I got two going in elementary school next year. In 5 years I’ll be at 75k a year just pushing the three of em through elementary school lmao.

[Midi77]

In cucfornia, it's 39K to send your kid to private kindergarten. Hilarious.

[Clockbro]

lol, stop trolling. Stats from my town as of April 9 - typical home value $1,445,202 (last year $1,258,881) with a 20% forecast value increase

Westport CT

[x-trainer ben]

Price of a very well regarded school in the area here.

Here is the breakdown of the total estimated cost : Lower School (Grades 3-5)- $41,290. Middle and Upper School (Grades 6-12)- $44,960

[andrepmeet]

ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT.

If I had the money it is no brainer decision.

These are your formative years...I would argue and I'm right that your personality develops even earlier in life. Those are the friendships that get ingrained into your head.

Not to mention you get indoctrinated into elite early.

[FabienStyle]

I think it's worth it if you have the money. I work at a school like that.
EVERYONES parents bring their students to school in new porches, etc. Honestly all of my students parents drive new luxury cars.
The parents all network together. The students network together after school which means the parents do as well. Many of them have their own businesses, or are in a family from a celebrity etc. The networking aspect would be worth it. Your son would get a good peer group who's students get pushed hard by their family to be successful and are serious about their future and making money.

Compared to a run of the mill inner-city school where most people are coming from a lower-middle class background and don't care about their studies or success and will settle for mediocrity. Totally different.

[Duckliver]

Also one other thing I noticed.

My middle son does speech development through the state so once a week he goes to the local elementary school to see the speech therapist instead of his moderately priced preschool.

The parents at both the public school and Christian preschool are mostly all fat. Like 60-70% fat people.

At the expensive school 70-80% of parents are skinny.

[Jasonw1178]

Look what is going on in NY public schools. With the CRT and LGBTQWERTY groomer chit, it's understandable. If it was all 4 years it would not be unreasonable at all to be honest, but I think that's per year. Says billed twice a year. Probably come out of HS better educated than 9/10 people out of college.

I kind of dun goofed as a kid because my grandmother wanted to put him in private school. Always hated school and didn't want her to spend money on what I hated. Plus, I was scared of really being more of an outcast than I already was being one of those private school kids. Like Pip from great expectations. Looking back, I probably would have been much better off.
