After-school vs. private school

An email arrived suggesting that for what we pay for after-school care for our youngest child, we should consider sending her to a private school. The gist of the rest of the message is that he has uncertain finances (nothing new) and is looking to save money. Hmm, let's see, $4000 for after-school vs. $20,000 for private school.

The lack of logic is obvious but the frustration for me is compounded by a previous discussion that our eldest would benefit greatly from private school due to her learning differences. This we are in agreement on however he cannot come prepared to any meeting to discuss what financial obligation he could make towards her education. It is very difficult for me to stay focused and not completely go ballistic when these situations arise however I know it is to my benefit, and my kids, to keep it together.
