It's just cheaper than the private schools. I just think whoever handles our budgets is ummmm...maybe not so good at it.The Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-30435940175489622292007-08-20T14:08:00.000-05:002007-08-20T14:08:00.000-05:00That is insane!

You could almost send them to a private school for that amount of money... ok, so maybe not quite... but I thought the point of public school was that it was free?? <BR/><BR/>I wonder if TPing the school would count as your donation of tp?? I would be sorely tempted to do that if I had that huge list of things I had to buy for public school!<BR/><BR/>Right now we're in GA, so I guess we'd only have to buy that backpack ;) <BR/><BR/>Tho really, right now, I want to home school our kiddos. I think it would be fun =)<BR/><BR/>I have missed seeing you around, glad you're back!Jessica Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152327170331184368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-4135880819612140362007-08-19T10:12:00.000-05:002007-08-19T10:12:00.000-05:00Jenny: The only textbook that is provided is the h...Jenny: The only textbook that is provided is the history book. We have to buy everything else. My daughters freshman bio book is brand new this year and was $110.00 alone. They don't give us the book list until we go to the book sales, either, so I have no idea what they will need until the week before school.<BR/><BR/>qtpies: Yes, we have to buy all the books for every class every year. At the end of the year, they do give you a little bit of credit if you sell them back, but you can only do that if the book is going to be used the next year. That doesn't seem to happen all that often. Last year my daughter only got a $41.00 credit and I paid $450.00 for her books in the beginning of the year. <BR/><BR/>I've never heard of public school online! How does that work? Oh, I don't think I could homeschool. It's frustrating enough to try to help with homework and convince them that I actually DO know how to do algebra. <BR/><BR/>crystal: mine actually is relatively low compared to a lot of the area around here. My parents are in the next town to the north of me and they are at over $11,000. My sister is paying almost that much, too.The Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-89091090379454868302007-08-19T00:51:00.000-05:002007-08-19T00:51:00.000-05:00Holy cow, and I thought our property tax was high....Holy cow, and I thought our property tax was high.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046306355404937213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-52254328992430634312007-08-18T16:28:00.000-05:002007-08-18T16:28:00.000-05:00Are they buying new books for every class every ye...Are they buying new books for every class every year? How can you have to buy books for high school? <BR/>I'm putting one of my kids in public school online, and they are even supplying the computer, printer, webcam, teacher, and if we are poor enough, they will pay our travel expenses for the few trips we have to make to the school! <BR/>How can the normal person afford to put thier child in school? I can barely afford the backpacks and paper and pens and markers they make us get, I ignore some of the other stuff, like kleenex and plastic baggies. It is WAY cheaper to homeschool.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-33549686016869282492007-08-18T15:47:00.000-05:002007-08-18T15:47:00.000-05:00I guess I shouldn't complain about our $90 family ...I guess I shouldn't complain about our $90 family fee for all sports/activities at the high school. <BR/><BR/>Okay, here is my rant about teaching ( and I was one for 4 years....) could their health insurance be any better? I can't believe how much you spent at the book sale..does that mean no text books are provided? <BR/><BR/>Have you checked into ebooks for text books?

My nephew goes to school in Georgia and all he has to buy is a backpack if he wants one. <BR/><BR/>You might as well come on over and take advantage, everybody else does! Glad you're bringing your own TP, too, because I'm not sure I have a square to spare :)<BR/><BR/>JessicaThe Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-12912526922514952392007-08-18T10:45:00.000-05:002007-08-18T10:45:00.000-05:00Geez, I can't believe you have to pay for all that...Geez, I can't believe you have to pay for all that. If it worked that way here I might have to sell one of the girls to get my oldest through highschool. Hey, maybe after I have secured my credential I can come rent a room from you so your district could fund my Master's degree, lol. Don't worry, I'll bring my own toilet paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
