But yes, having the extra cash next year would be fun for me if that is what he chooses.

No, this is how it works (sample numbers):
Area A:
Salary--$100,000
Comparision you need to live in Area B:
Salary--$80,000

If I were listing the pros and cons of whether he should go to private school or public school next year, the money would not be part of the list. It is irrelevant to the decision. It isn't a "pro" in the sense of "an argument for" a certain decision. It would be a side benefit to me, but it will not be part of the decision.
I admit I have gotten angry with the kid from time to time when he isn't taking full advantage of his educational opportunities and told myself that if he wants to mess around, I should make him do it for "free" at the local public school, but I wouldn't even insinuate something like that to him.
