How much do you make and how much FA do you receive?

But enjoy your vacation.

Exactly!!!!

Oh, poppycock. FA departments want a mix of middle- and low-income kids. PP isn't depriving anyone. If she didn't apply, that money would go to another middle class student.

massive rationalization. It's how one get's over a guilty conscience.

You wish I had a guilty conscious. What bothers you most is that I absolutely do not. In fact, you think you I feel entitled or deserving. While I most definitely don't feel entitled to anything, what I do feel is fortunate that there are private schools out there who see the value my family and child can bring to their school community even though we can't afford to pay the full tuition. Nope, not an ounce of guilt. By all means see it however you choose but know that your opinion unequivocally means nothing to me. What I would advise however is that you (and others that feel as you do) keep your opinions far far far away from the ears or awareness of my DC. The wrath of a momma bear is unlike no other. Carry on.

oh, a full paragraph rationalization. Where was the vacation - Caribbean, Europe, or maybe just Disney this year? You are right, though, best not tell your child - they are fine tuned to hypocrisy.

Not PP, but we get FA and feel 0% guilty about it. Grateful? Yes. Guilty? Hell no. Nobody's forcing the school to give us aid. They want my kid, they offered the aid, I accepted. Why would I feel guilty?

You are ridiculous.

The Caribbean and later this year to Disney! And have every intention of hitting Europe and Asia in the next few years Oh my imagine that -- my kid is also going to be world traveled. Better not involve my child because the least of your worries will be how much FA we get or don't. LOL

Yeah see no. The people who would feel guilty are the same ones that didn't apply for FA. Instead they spend their time on DCUM bitching that they can't afford to send their child to private school or are scrapping by to pay the full tuition. Those of us receiving FA are resourceful and grateful. You people are mind boggling. No one is forcing private schools to give out FA. No one is twisting their arm. No one is hiding assets to avoid paying tuition.

If you would feel guilty and your "morals" are such that you could never bring yourself to ask, then great. One less family we have to worry about splitting the FA pot with.

I truly think you are a troll. If not, you are selfish, mean and doing a lot of harm to people -like me- who really need the FA to be able to afford private.
Thank you to everyone who donates to FA programs, please, do not think this case is real. Anyhow, even if it was, do not believe it is somewhat representative of the FA pool.

Lack of any guilt or shame and extremely status conscious - what's the word for that? Ah, yes - narcissistic.

I hope she's a troll, but there have been a lot of people chiming in saying 200K HHI and they receive financial aid. I never would have believed that. Maybe there would be too much of a dumbbell distribution if it were truly need based, with a class of either full pay or 100% FA?
