$15k/yr is not expensive. That's about the same as K-12. Most schools are $30-$60k/yr

Are you forgetting the entirely free K-12 option here that most people grow up with?

>$15k/yr is not expensive

Ok....

They're not free, they're differently funded.

My kids' school spends $21k/pupil/year.

$12k/student is the national average for K-12 spending

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Very few of our parents shelled out the 15k a year in public school costs.

We distributed the cost, but 15k a year is absolutely unaffordable for most Americans.
