>For comparison - we currently pay more per year to keep our 1 year old child in daycare (roughly ~15,000/yr)
>I think comparing the costs between the 5 year olds in our daycare and the 6 year olds entering first grade is entirely fair.
Which is it, you're paying for a 1 year old or a 5 year old? What daycare do you go to that 5 year olds pay the same rate as an infant?
What would be "fair" is to not lie, and be truthful and say your original comment was comparing an infant (or 1 y/o) to school child, and not play switch-a-roo to now say we're talking about 5 year olds which in most states requires something like 1/3 the number of caregivers per child as a 1 year old.
I'm paying for a 1 year old - I have access to the full payment info as they age... Tuition is covered in the new parent hand book by year, and communicated yearly as it updates (the most recent was just this month - as they mirror the back to school dates for our county).
I really don't know what it is you think you're pulling with this bullshit:
> "What would be "fair" is to not lie".
I think it would be fair to tell you to bugger off.
