We're paying for private school for our son, but we won't pay for college

• When it was time for my 5-year-old to start school, I knew the public school setting wasn't for him.
• We've decided to pay for his private school, but not for his college. 
• We don't know if he'll even attend college, and there are scholarships he can apply to. 

As we entered the kindergarten room on a tour of our local public school, the entire class was wearing headphones and engrossed in their tablets.

Seeing my eyebrows rise in surprise, the teacher said, "Don't worry, they're only on devices for 20 to 30 minutes each day."

"And how long are they outside for recess?" I asked.

"Half an hour per day," came the response.
