15. Our local schools are poor performing.

Our family has to give up a lot to pay $15K per year tuition. We are by no stretch of the imagination wealthy. I hope that I can get a voucher for $5K. That will be huge for our family. That is really ridiculous to say that only wealthy families pay for private school. A lot of us do it by borrowing and working more than one job. If you have great public schools near you, then you're lucky. We don't. And my husband has been out of work for seven months and counting. I really, really hope we can use vouchers next year.
