@daveramsey: It is hard to watch other families give their kids things you can’t afford and wonder if your children are falling behind. But you don’t have to go into debt, pause the Baby Steps or sacrifice your family’s financial peace just to keep up. Your kids don’t need the most expensive school, the nicest car or every opportunity money can buy. They need parents who love them enough to say no, teach gratitude, model integrity and show them how to do hard things. Staying on the Baby Steps isn’t depriving your kids. You are teaching them that wisdom matters more than appearances and that money is a tool, not a measure of their worth. You aren’t failing your kids because you can’t give them everything. You are teaching them how to live like no one else so someday they can live and give like no one else. #babysteps #daveramsey #parentingtips #raisingkids #spoiledkids
I am a sole custodian and my five kids can do hard things!! Sometimes by default life makes it easier to raise strong, independent children through adversity. Silver lining.

I know someone who sent both of their kids to a private school from 7th grade until graduation and they have dropped out of college working as baristas now. 🤦♂️😂

I went to private school and tried public school my last 2 years, it didn’t affect me, however, private school can give you access to to certain people or circles you might now otherwise have access to. Honestly I preferred public school, way less pressure.

I area/state might have worse public schools but my parents sent me to private school and it has been one the best things that happened. I was always ahead in college and even gained many good job opportunities for the highschool I went to. I think its something parents really should consider and try to do for their kids. oh know some private schools even put money aside for students that cant afford it. at least my private school did.

Skip the Reddit forums and Wall Street analysts; just track where the board members are putting their personal money via SEC filings—because actions speak louder than press releases.

We did private school for our kids as long as we could…… but eventually had to pull them out and put them in public. They are both doing just fine! In college, too!! 😳 I know, but think?!

Our kids start private school this year I’m so excited for them. It’s going to be a big transition. Some states offer scholarships for them to be able to attend’

Look up the numbers - private schools vs public schools. It’s a no brainer (if you can afford it).

You get the connections in private school. You're also taught how to be confident too. Both lacking in public schools.
