PAY CHOCO TACO
do not forget your local attorney general
That was every guy I knew who got kicked out of private school.
That or one guy who got kicked out for on premises fornication.
she came into my office to look at a painting my daughter did. talked about it at length. I'm just trying to fuck around on the internet for eleven more minutes.
got kicked out of hotchkiss
didn't even bring chocolate banana muffins.
apparently she just wanted to say good luck to the kid in person before he went to this soccer tournament.
we made a deal. we shook hands on it.
when we moved up here ten years ago we said that we weren't going to have the in-laws dropping by unannounced because they were so close now.
for some reason my mother-in-law is here.
Hotchkiss cost 77k a year now
Oh you can’t use that for a point of comparison my dad’s catholic school in working class southern California cost $300 in 1986.
Just, like, what the fuck
Well that was just a terrible way to waste half an hour, @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social, gotta remember that the block button is our friend.
...first, I would wager that they were all close, or sure as hell wanted to be after they went there;
second, we're talking about a private high school that cost more to attend when Graham Platner attended it than two premier private universities in the country.
From unaffordable to all but the richest people in America in 2002 to unaffordable to all but the richest people in America in 2026.
Yes.
if you could pay $27K for private high school tuition in 2002 you were rich, just like if you could pay $48K today you would be rich, just like if you could pay $77K today you would be rich.
Tulane University and Rice University both cost $28K in 2002, FYI. Couldn't afford to go to either of them.
as pointed out above, it cost $27K in 2002, and would have cost $48K if it had tracked with inflation, and now costs $77K. This is a fine, although generally irrelevant point.
The high school it feeds into has a similar tuition schedule, except it cost $7K for non-Catholics when my parents wanted to send me there in 1997 but couldn't afford it, and it now costs $15K.
For example, we looked into a Catholic elementary school in our old neighborhood for our kids. It costs $3300 for active parishioners who can document a tithe, is free to parishioners who can demonstrate some tithe and active financial hardship, and $8-10K for non Catholics.
parochial schools, which are subsidized by the diocese, and 40 years ago were primarily staffed by priests and nuns, cost more today as they are now overwhelmingly staffed by lay teachers, tithing has gone down, and dioceses are strapped after ... paying settlements, cost more today.
Yes, I agree.
what exactly was your point?
I do not know what to tell you, because it is a direct reply to you that responds directly to your statement.
you can't read good.
like what the fuck are we talking about?
Your dad's catholic school that cost $300 to parishioners 40 years ago who were supposed to tithe 10% of their income and could probably do work study in the summers to knock some of it off?
We're comparing that to a place on par with Exeter?
Dude literally just told you that when Platner went there the tuition was 26,900 in 2002 dollars.
That is 48K in 2026 dollars.
Graham Platner also didn't go to Hotchkiss 40 years ago, he went there 20 years ago.
Friend, I know what tuition was at Oklahoma private schools in the 1990s because my friends went to them, and Hotchkiss, in Connecticut, is more expensive. Hotchkiss is not a parochial school.
In the words of the Smashing Pumpkins...1979.
she's also there to save college sports
