    I think this is just incredible. Education must be really important to these rich folks.

    Beyond this: imagine paying for clothes, health care, food, gifts, laptop computers, etc.

    How else do they ensure access to NWO lever pulling. Anyone at a young age that attends those schools will be taught they’re superior. Thier parents are superior. The school is superior.

    They’ll meet others who also believe they are more than human. Have a divine right to decide what is best for others. So forth and so on. The price only prices regular guys out.

    CEO’s, old money families, could pay ten times as much and not feel a significant dent in their personal quality of life.

    It depends on two factors.

    What is the difference in quality between private and public education? That can change drastically depending on where you live.

    How much does the money mean to you? For me, I can’t afford that tuition, but for someone with a much higher income, the money has a lot less meaning to you, thus the tuition is reasonable.

    For me, the answer to both these question are ‘very little’ and ‘a hell of a lot’, so there is no way my kids would be anywhere near these places.

    Ok. Then do it.

    Tuition: $42,805

    Books, Supplies, Trips, Technology, Food, Facilities & Energy: $7,000

    Total Costs: $49,805

    “At Riverdale, our “tuition” includes lunch, books, and all required activities but does not include after-school care for Lower School students or transportation.”
    They lie right on their main page: lunch, books and all required activities are NOT included in tuition since you need another $7,000 to cover all that!

    $49,805 to send your boy to a place where he’ll be crushed and shamed for being male, a place where his access will be restricted by insane feminists, where his opinion will be stifled by a “Safe Space” and where he can be charged with sexual assault simply because some bitch said so.
    Might as well save the money and put him into a technical school where he’ll at least get real skills.

    Tuition & Fees……….Boarding…………Day
    Tuition 2016-2017…….$59,860………….$49,510

    Rich families send their kids to prestigious private schools because the families make more prestigious contacts/friends which can benefit them personally and professionally. It’s the same reason they go to certain country clubs, dine at certain restaurants, host lavish parties ETC.

    I rather put the money into raising any kid or tuition into a down payment on a nice home where I live.

    Its in NYC, so I’m guessing there are some schools there that mix kids from affluent families with bastard children from single moms and gang bangers and the environment and quality of education from inner city schools full of mini-thugs isn’t all that great.

    Growing up, my family spent a year in Slidell, LA, a suburb of New Orleans essentially. Public schools were not an option so me and my siblings went to private school.

    Ok. Then do it.

    This is about status and bragging rites. These parents buy kids their education. Ivy league and connections – which is all it is.

    They don’t realise or don’t care how s~~~ty their children will be because they never had to really earn anything.

    I remember when Edward VII was a lad his father (Queen Victoria’s husband The Price Consort Albert the Good) sent him to work in the fields and he was paid the wages of a farmhand. He grew up to become a responsible human being.

    Good sensible men used to start as good sensible boys. Nowadays boys – among other things – don’t know which toilet to use. Not their fault though.

    Nonsense…its in the Bronx man. Rich that can afford it don’t want to send their kids to school with ghetto trash. Its not exactly unknown that inner city schools tend to be trash…hi drop out rates, crime, and lesser quality education compared to other areas…I sure as hell wouldn’t be sending my kid there if I had a way around it.

    The only difference between this private school for the rich and middle class people is middle class people with kids tend to move to towns with better schools because its cheaper than 40k a year…but hey…if your rich and don’t want to leave the city 40k is chump change. I sure as hell know if I had a kid, I wouldn’t be sending them to a public inner city school.

    My point still stands – people are willing to pay for bragging rights. People who can afford this seem have a reason to stay in the Bronx regardless. Not everyone has a way around it.

    People dumping 40k a year on a private school for their kids are probably living in multi-millionaire dollar houses paying more than that a year in property taxes. There are affluent sections of the Bronx…and if they have a high paying job in the city, they have a very good reason to stay.

    Take Trump for example…billionaire living in NYC…never heard him brag about where his kids went to school, but he sure as hell didn’t send any of them to inner city public schools.

    My experience with people willing to pay for bragging rights are its generally people with no money who do that, and well, that is why they are broke lol.
