I'm not disparaging
I'm telling him not to feel bad that he can't afford it because if he keeps caring about his daughter and instilling her with good values, she'll have the same opportunities that he thinks he's denying her.

good point to make.
I've never been at a private school, always state funded. We've never had a lot of money, but I was raised to be polite to everybody (aside from b3ta it's worked), and to work hard for what I want out of life.
I know other people at my school whose parents are doctors and lawyers and they have got the worst attitudes - to them everything and anything can be bought if they want it even for a moment.

If you just raise her to be a good person Monty (which you will, I'm sure), she'll grow up just fine, regardless of what school she goes to.
