My parents did the same for myself and my brother and sister and we were most definitely not rich. I didn’t even know what a gardener was until I moved to southern california…everyone must be rich here…
CAR,
You do have a point about the self limiting nature of private schools. None of the schools we went to growing up had entrance exams, and all of them had half the per capita spending of the public schools.
But private schools have one important filter, Private schools tend to have parents that care. That kind of environment is worth every penny.
