I dont think so! Whether the school is expensive or paying school or a free education school i think its all the same! The level of education in an expensive school may not be better than others... In an expensive school maybe the parenst are paying for other facilities and services but my opinion is that all schools are the same. In my country; some parents send their children to expensive school and at the end those children gets spoiled and are not that brillant compared to those who goes to public school (Free one) So in my opinion sending children to expensive or free school doesnt have any diffrence in the level of education...

Really i agree for your thoughs... It's not the school who makes the children brighter but the child themselves.

Education is vital to us all, but I think parents will first evaluate their capacities in order to give their children the best education ever... not all expensive school is the best school.. Why suffer, if we have a choice? there's a lot to choose from and I believe the most important thing is that the child likes the school and we, the parents like the standards of the school.

I try to talk to her bout it ever since but she's not doing anything to shift to other school that fits to our income. She really care bout the education but for me, our health is the most important to us. She double her time to earn extra money and in result she suffer breakdown.

personally i do not agree with this view.sending the child to an expensive school would mean exposing the child to so many expensive items that other children would be bringing/using which you may not be able to afford on a regular basis, but as per school requirements & specifications, it would be necessary for you to do so. This would lead to unrest in the house & can lead to an incongenial environmet at home. So while at one end, you may be sending your child to an expensive school, you might still not be able to provide the best of education to the child. With the unhealthy environment at home, the child would get affected & this can lead to a complex within the child, to such an extent, that the child may either lose interest in going to school & facing his/her companions, or lose his/her confidence which is very necessary at the growing stage for a child & is one of the prime motives of sending your child to an expensive school. In my view, planning a school & education for your child, would also mean living within your budgets & planning accordingly. If one learns to live within their budgets, it only improves the home atmosphere & results in a proper upbringing of the child who learns to live within his/her means & respects his family for everything he/ she gets.
