School

I pay 12k/year in property taxes; 6k of that goes to public schools. My son goes to a private school because the public school in my area are drug and crime infested. Can the money I pay yearly to public schools, be given to his private school to offset his tuition?

No, but if you qualify you can get a credit for those taxes on your return. Contact the IRS and see if you are eligibale for a an education credit or property tax credit..

I am a senior in high school and I was considering becoming a dentist. So, I was just wondering, what kind of grades should I have in high school (approximately) that would translate into a dental school-accepted GPA?

I am aware that around a 3.5 GPA in college is the average for dental schools, but I am inquiring about what high school GPA would be suited to have a 3.5 GPA in college.

High school grades are only good for getting you into college. Ultimately, they’re irrelevant as long as you can get accepted into a dental program and do well there.

The private school that I attend recently built a new athletic facility, separated from the main campus (no buildings are connected to it), but there are no water fountains in the building. Is it required for private schools to have water fountains in an athletic facility?

Please answer with a source! I may approach the school board with this, and I need a legal, legitimate source!

Yes

I am planning on boarding at a private school. I like the idea of sleeping at school because I wont have to worry about being late. I would like to know what to expect in terms of freedom, getting to see my family, waking up for school, and the advantages of being a boarding student.

freedom:
not a lot. there are lots of rules about curfew, over-night permissions, etc. they watch over you like a hawk so they know you are safe and sound. but most schools allow you to do whatever you want in your freetime, including going into the nearby town.

getting to see your family:
it depends on how far you live but most kids see their family every month through holidays, long weekend, parents weekend, college info weekend, etc. internationals go home about 3 times a year

waking up for school: i wake up an hour before class but i know some boys roll out of bed 10 minutes before class and still make it. (but smell bad)

advantages of being a boarding student:
the experience of having a roommate, dormmates, making the closest friends you have ever had. for boys it means x50 the number of video games, etc and for girls it means x100 more dresses, shoes, jewelry you can borrow haha
you also dont have to spend time commuting to and from home so you can sleep instead

expect to become a procrastinator and an awesome BS-er
