This is great man. I've been on the other end of this. My annual high school fees cost $700. Couldn't afford it, and it was extremely stressful. If not for the benevolence of my high school principal, I have dropped out. It completely changed my life. You're making a massive difference.

One more good reason to read HN: High quality personal posts! Can you share (without doxxing yourself), where do/did you live (during high school)?

Not GP, but my wife and I looked at the charter schools in Arizona at one point early in her youth. We didn't ultimately go that route (or any private route), but their stated costs were well beyond this, even with scholarship help.

Grew up/Went to high school there. Which is why this post resonated. I know exactly what this means and what difference it can make. I'm in the US now.

This was meant to say Kenya

Does this prevent many children from attending high school?

I knew quite a few people in high school and college that wouldn’t have been able to afford it without crippling debt but we were able to get our tuition paid for by the State if you had a B average.

The state usually provided loans for University, not high school.

It was phrased oddly but you understood.

Thank you for this. I really appreciate it.
