Is your school “too generous”

[Anonymous]

Why is the inherent assumption that a diverse class is for optics only? The class in the photo that I referenced above doesn’t just look diverse, it is diverse. There are super wealthy kids, kids that come from far away every day, kids for whom English is a second language and many other flavors.

That a school is racially diverse does not mean that it’s purely for the purpose of boasting about it. Some people actually seek an eduction where kids are surrounded by people who don’t all look, think, spend and live like they do.

Stop fixating on diversity. That is not the point of financial aid. Financial aid is to help attract and retain the top students by reducing financial barriers if they exist.

Any attempts to artificially manufacture diversity have already failed. Real diversity happens naturally.

Well, I disagree. It’s disingenuous to pretend that the economic barriers across all races and ethnicities are the same. Financial aid is designed to give worthy students an opportunity to attend who would otherwise not be able to do so and for the school to build out a class that represents the mixture that they want in allocating those resources as they choose.

This person is clearly here just to antagonize. And it’s not the first thread they’ve started over the last number of months, where they set up an argument that no one agrees with, but insists that everyone else is wrong.

NP, I think racial diversity is good, it’s just that can be achieved with families paying full tuition. No need to use that money for financial aid for diverse upper middle class families.

So you just want your kids to be with rich people. That’s basically what the rest of us have always thought. It’s good to hear you say it.

Just stating the facts. The people that receive financial aid on average are not socioeconomic diverse. It’s just upper middle class folks with many kids that can’t afford to pay full tuition .

In fact, many people agree. The fact that you don’t agree doesn’t mean that the argument is invalid.

My kids care about whether there are other classmates who look like them.

Go to public school then.

No, the fact that there's more than enough demand for schools operating under the current financial aid model means that the argument lacks sufficient support.

The fact that the financial aid model works in most schools does not invalidate that it is not well implemented in our school. For some reason you are under the assumption that mismanagement is not a possibility in private schools.

That wasn't my claim. You don't think it's well implemented at your school, but apparently there are enough families there that do. That trumps your minority view.

The status quo works for the in crowd so just be quiet OP.

Not sure. If you receive financial aid of course you will love the system. My only point that families that pay full tuition get poor value for money. Somehow this comment should be normal in a forum for schools. Maybe if you don’t like it you can start your own forum.

Yes, for the (financial aid recipients) crowd.
