因为自己有的资源有限，学费又是大头，好私校是否值得砸钱供娃去开眼界。如果能上台阶当然值得砸。花钱开洋荤，看眼界虽然谈不上上台阶，也算不虚此行。但如何避免砸钱而迷失自己呢？大公校从阶级背景来说就是普通工薪本来的环境，没有惊喜没有意外那种，价格也是经济实惠，但鲤鱼跳龙门的机会也少
只是正常消费。只是各家消费观念不同而已
都20，30年了，还攒不下40万？ 你也太小看老留了啊
万就是大钱了，还多数有两娃，两个40万，退休要等70岁了
学校FA给的多
不小的数字，加州人收入是高一点，但付出的辛苦和压力也比大多数其他州的人要多。譬如现在油价已经过6了，你们还没吧？ ：）
出门住两星半酒店。我的意思是真的有钱人都是很低调的，看人不要只看人家说什么，要看ta 的行为。哈哈
记得当年刚工作，看到工资单上只有我以为的数字的一半多。很郁闷。我这还不是加州。lol 娃收到第一张支票也是大吃一斤说，啊？ 钱呢？ Not fair! 哈哈，

团建的组织，一样能培养社交能力。当然名校名教授的眼界肯定是洲大比不了的。
我就一个娃，钱财生不带来死不带走，她爱怎么花就怎么花吧，如果我有两三个娃可能想法会变。
以前跟同事聊天，一个老印同事表示以后把娃送回印度读大学，不花钱，再来美国好学校读个研究生博士啥的，一个老美同事说她们州高中就可以去CC选课然后上州大抵学分，这样上大学就花不了多少钱。这俩同事可比我有钱，区别就是他们都是养了两个娃。
其实选择了就接受结果。你们既然选择公立，自己高兴就好，用不着为那些选择私校的父母担心/不值。每个家庭都有自己的权衡利弊的标准，他们自己觉得值就可以。顺便说一下，你也不要总盯着那些去了私校最后混得不好的孩子，这些孩子毕竟是少数的，大部分去了私校的孩子都混得不错。
