Free Education??

There is no such thing as a free education. I cringe every September and especially now that I am the parent of 5 teenagers. It is not the “most wonderful time” of the year as the song goes: it is the most expensive!!!! September for our family is more expensive than Christmas. School fees in our home top $1400.00 for 4 kids. Another child goes to private school and that is another $1200. Then there is the haircuts, clothes and bus passes for four. It’s enough to make you want to cry. I don’t know how we do it every year. Now to pay for those extra-curricular fees! Thank God I have a good job or my kids could not afford their public education.
