    Do they?

    School supplies and materials?

    Costs of transportation?

    Extracurricular activities?

    Uniforms or dress codes?

    Costs to eat?

    Tutoring costs because your kid is in public school?

    Technology access requirements for the modern world like tablets or computers with specific often paid software?

    Field trips and special projects?

    I dunno, it’s all starting to add up to a little more than free.

      Stupidly pedantic.

      Why don’t you just add every single expense incurred in their life to your list?

          Oh please, shit like “tutoring costs” or “cost to eat” are entirely disingenuous - ones some trust fund shit, and the other ignores the fact that children not in school still have feeding costs, for the actual few core things transport/supplies/etc. any developed nation will have a means of access for those who need it.
