No, my community (up to and including the US) paid the rest.

All parents/guardians are expected to contribute financially to their child’s tuition

Wouldn't be free for my kids.

The kids would have gotten a better education and the taxpayers a huge break, but hey! You saved like a thou per year!

Then if you wanted to continue to be considerate, you could have sent them to Cardinal O'Hara for $11,700 per year ($3900 each) for 9-12. That would have only saved government only $21,915 per year.

"Catholic school" is "better education"? I don't think so, especially when they teach you that you aren't responsible for anything, the father figure in the sky that controls everything is.

It's my pleasure to contribute to the good of the community and the continued success of our great nation.
