- ... average cost of $8000 to $25,000 (Topolnicki 100), many parents ask: Are private boarding schools worth the expense? The extra attention and frills don't come cheap. “It's like buying stock or a new house,” says private school consultant Georgia Irvin. “It's a major investment.” (Parker 111) But many boarding schools have been working hard to increase their financial aid and to structure new methods of payment.

- 6389: Current Grading Systems Are Inadequate
- ... learning that it is acceptable to do a mediocre job on tests and papers and still receive passing credit for the assignment.
