Our price point isn't as high as Dalton, but you'd probably call it obscene as well (that tuition supports a lot of financial aid).

As for the problems with public schools, the solution is to raise taxes to pay for them. The parents of private school students are a minuscule percentage of the voting public, and won't be able to block a tax rise, if you can convince everyone else.
