Yes. There is financial assistance for first-time homebuyers all over the country.

That’s nice. Then it must be easy to get a 30% mansion assistance. We really need it because of our low income.

If you think first-time homebuyer programs are limited to low-income people and people purchasing inexpensive houses, you’d be very wrong.

No, but if a real estate company that owned a bunch of mansions started giving them away to some people at a discount, we all know some of the posters here would be the first ones bitching about it.

Real estate companies would prefer to sale them at the full price. The people that want a mansion but can afford a condo, can go to a condo and live happily there.

There aren't enough families able and willing to pay full price for private school to keep most private schools open.

Financial aid works because it is better to have some money and someone in that spot than no money and no one in that spot.

Real estate market does sort of work like that. If the mansions in that neighborhood aren't selling at all after all the best efforts, the price for them will start dropping...

The admission rate in many private schools is around 10 percent or less. There are enough full paying families around to cover all costs.

The schools can accept whoever they want and charge whatever they want.

Yes, but if there is enough demand for housing there is no need to lower the price. Try to get a big discount in Georgetown.

Sure. But fortunately you cannot pay whatever you want.

LOL. That is not the admission rate in most schools. You might want to actually talk to someone who works in admissions or the business office.

I didn’t use the word most, I used the word many. And yes, in Sidwell, gds, and maret those are the numbers.

Right. If there is enough demand and people are willing to pay for it and can pay for it. Issue with private schools is there are not enough people willing to pay full price for it, even those who can pay full price. Most of them move into those glitzy neighborhoods with glamorous public schools whose programs are just as competitive.

That may be true for GDS, Sidwell, and Maret. But not true for many, or even most, private schools.

I assure you. There are enough full paying families around.

Private schools are a two-sided market. The schools are also competing for students. There are not enough full-pay families who also satisfy the range of criteria needed to build the classes the schools desire.

Sure. But i don’t really see value in the criteria of the university. Diversity criteria still targets upper middle class families. It’s really fake diversity. It would be better to scrap completely financial aid to upper middle class families. Those can go to cheaper private schools without financial aid. No problem at all.

It’s back to values. Your values misalign with your child’s school. If there is values mismatch, you should transfer to a school without diversity criteria you dislike or a financial aid system you’re convinced is rigged.

I agree. I work hard to buy things and I am not used to get things for free. That’s why I don’t ask for financial aid I just send my kid to a school that I can pay.

Very few people attend these schools for free, as an initial matter. But regardless, it’s time for you to transfer your kid out. The school is not a fit for your family.
