Help me justify the $31,000 tuition cost of prep school. My 14 yr. old daughter has applied and been admitted, as a day student, to a top 50 <a href="http://www.nmhschool.org/">prep school</a>. My wife who works at the local high school says nothing can justify the cost (we have been granted significant financial aid.) Is this true? What would she get out of this experience that she might not get from a public school education? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.87718 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:10:14 -0800 education highschool prepschool privateschool publicschool tuition Xurando
