Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help them out - a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.
Do you think it's worth the financial sacrifice to send your child to private school?
This week's question: Our local state secondary is bottom of the tables. My wife's demanding we send our daughter to a private school where the fees are nearly £9,000 a year. I hate the idea, and we'd have to scrimp and save to afford it. Will it be money well spent?
What are your thoughts?
