School starts here on August 15. Where the hell did summer go!?
I'll have a junior and sophomore in high school this coming year, and I'm dreading how much it's going to cost in fees.
I've never had to do a payment plan before, but this may be the first year. On top of book/enrollment fees are lab fees, band fees, jrotc fees, and OTHER fees for other classes. My daughter is in sophomore honors English, and there's a damn $50.00 fee for that.
I think by the time I add it all up, it's gonna be close to $600.00. Of course, that includes uniforms for four different jrotc uniform rentals, band uniform rentals, I have to buy shoes for band and jrotc... the list keeps growing. Not to mention just the crap supplies they need, clothes and all that.
I'm having a mini panic attack.
Enrollment fees are due next week. I don't remember school costing this much before. A friend of mine, his kids attend parochial school and he's not paying nearly this much.
Argh!!!!

this is a public school?
I have to order my law books next week. Doing it while drunk so I don't remember the costs.
They might frown upon me if I show up to pay, three sheets to the wind. Although they probably wouldn't care as long as I paid.
The bastards.

It's been a longggggg time since I had kids in high school, but I remember how expensive it seemed to have been even back then. Maybe you should put your kids in parochial school, lol.
I always bought used books when I could: pre-highlighted as to the important parts and I would look for the ones that had good notes in them, especially notes about lectures from the same prof I would have.
Yeah that is about how much it will run me in fees for my son who will be a first grader in a private school over the course of the year. I imagine the fees just have different titles.
what gets me is the fees for clearly educational material, like books, placement costs, and lab fees
Both my kids went to parochial school for the first three years of gradeschool. I know tuition and tithing isn't cheap. I will say though, there's a misconception that public school is "free", which isn't the case.
Actually you should get drunk in front of them. We used to get drunk in our Russian politics class. What you do is get some grapes and then soak them in vodka overnight.
I use condoms. I'm not subjected to any of this.
Lucky.
I love my kids, but they are pricey...and the fun has just started.
you have to spend money on public school?

Not where i'm from....Plus I though the whole idea of public school is that is was free? Silly me lol
One would think, right? Haha
Plus, a good amount of the property tax I pay on my house goes toward public education, so it's a double whammy.
Bleh.
