I hear you friend. My son will be a high school senior so that means I'll be paying college tuition for two of his classes in which he can earn college credit. And he'd better do well in them!!
I have some wacky expenses such as $4,000 for a new bicycle so that my son can get a cycling scholarship to college. I hope it works!!

It sure is >:(
To be fair, I have to say that there is a voucher system for poor families. They get paid the greatest part of the costs for school books via vouchers. But nothing for the bus ticket, which is much more than the books. I pay approx 400€ for books, for three kids altogether, but the bus ticket is almost 400€ per child, once they get into fith grade (the first four years are at a local school, in walking distance).
What makes me the most angry is not the abdsolute cost of it (although it is really wacky), but the unfairness of the system.

Hello Friends! Hope that everyone is well!

Where does he want to go to school? I didn't know they gave athletic scholarships to cyclists.
