  1. Sheesh. Well, that's rather obvious. Solution: Move to Israel- minimal tuition :)

  3. Yeah, not a shock, though the extent people mentioned it in comparison with everything else was a bit surprising to me.

  4. Duh.

    But just to clarify things a bit about tuition in Israel: Yes it is significantly less here than in America. And yes, from grades 1 to 6, it can even be called "minimal". But daycare for the little ones costs alot, and guess what?--high school (starting in Grade 7) costs quite a bit, especially if you send your kids to a school that is not run by the city. And if you are working in Israel, on an Israeli salary, tuition is ALOT.

    Just sayin'.
