Hello all, Fred Waldrop here;
I cannot understand why so many people cannot believe/understand how 
a school can exist and tutor children without charging tuition to 
each and every child. This is not some complicated, unheard of theory 
that has never been emplimented, "Free Education for the Public".
As a matter of fact, I went 12 years to school WITHOUT any tuition. 
(Grades 1-12, Public). When I went to collage, I HAD to pay tuition, 
but not before. (Although I received a few grants, I still had to pay 
back a student loan) So, if HRH and the rest of the students at 
Hogwarts are going to school, (Grades approx. 6-12),(and it seem to 
me that this is a "Public Witch/Wizard" school) and not a "higher 
education", (Collage/Career/Trade school), why does anyone assume 
they HAVE to pay tuition? 
Now if in the UK EVERYONE HAS to pay some sort of tuition to go to 
school from day one through collage, then maybe you have a point. 
BUT, if the UK is like the US, and schooling is free (except school 
supplies, clothing, ect) until one chooses to go to collage, you are 
wrong in your assumptions.
