15k? Holy crap lol...

That money should be going for college. Not a private school. There's nothing wrong with public schools. It might work out better for him if he chose that option.

He can't make one-time exceptions for your friend because it will set a precedent in future cases (such as George Washington's two terms setting the precedent for future presidents ) and cause a continuation problem. Anyway I don't really see the point in a private school, as 15,000 a year for high school is really unnecessary and should be headed towards a college fund instead.

Well, sorry anyway.
