Anything to get them out of Louisiana. I told mine if they went to a college in Louisiana not named Tulane, they are on their own.

You think Tulane is the best college in the state just because they are the most expensive?

Fewer than 10 males graduated from your high school? No "A+ rated" "best public" school has that kind of numbers. Do you even have any idea who rated them "A+"? Because that is not a high school rating system. You made that shite up.

Try and keep up, we were talking that graduated from college that were in my hs graduating class

I graduated with 100 in my class total, started with about 130 in 9th grade. Less than a dozen for sure males graduated college.

Ok and??

Let’s say lsu is 20-23ish per year. Tops is gonna pay 8ish so left between 12-15. That’s the same or less than most are paying for private school which was my whole point.

I understand that’s a lot of money, but many are still able to bankroll that pretty Easy

But also need to see what other schools are willing to pay, arky, bama, ole miss and others are known to pay more and if getting a stem degree always the option to stay closer to home for much cheaper

I can promise, atleast in most stem like engineering, after your first job nobody gives a frick if you got your degree from LSu, La Tech, ULL, Mcneese or some place like GT, A&M or even Vandy. All that matters is how you perform.

$9500/year plus fundraising drives and extracurricular fees at Montessori. Probably tops out about $12/k. One kid in elementary.

He started public school Kindergarten in 2020 and it was "online kindergarten" which we can make a whole other 50 page thread about that ridiculousness. But I was working from home and got visibility into the Kindergarten curriculum. My kid and half the others had already been in preschool and pre-k and knew the basic shite. The other half of the kids in the class literally didn't know their ABC's and couldn't count to ten. No joke. Then I saw their Thanksgiving curriculum, and it wasn't pilgrims and indians and turkeys, it was a lesson about the evil white settlers who were mean to the native Americans. In Kindergarten!

I talked to the teacher about it, she said she hates the curriculum too but it's forced by the county, she said don't worry about the pace of learning, your kid will end up in the gifted classes, but they don't start those for a few more years. In the meantime, he (and a dozen other decently smart kids) are basically being stalled out on their education while the dumb kids catch up. I saw the pattern, I saw the future, and said frick it. Private school. Being able to afford it made it an extremely easy decision. I would homeschool but my kid's waaaaay too social and needs to be around other kids and he has no siblings.

That said, Montessori is equally woke and hippie-dippie, but at least the kids don't get held back on their education to the lowest common denominator.

Arkansas isn’t going to do any more for them than LSU.

Haha guess I need to learn to use a comma, talk about change whole meaning

Around $6K total. Would pay double that if I had to.

About 15k/year for 1 in Shreveport, worth every damn penny.

Loyola? That’s a really good school with some really nice people
