Think about. Which situation are you going to be more comfortable with: when your taxes help poor people, or when your taxes help affluent people that are homeowners with enough income to regularly go on vacation? Well, it shouldn’t be that different with financial aid.

Oooh boy tell me you’ve never heard of the tax code without telling me.

So rich people get tax breaks, then its fine that rich families get financial aid. That makes sense.

Sure. Which makes sense. Given the money is limited it better to prioritize for people in need. If you are a homeowner in NW DC have 2 cars and go on vacation yearly. You don't need financial aid. You might not be able to pay Sidwell or GDS, but you can pay a cheaper private school.

Last few comments are a good indicator that the financial aid ranter that derails all of these threads is a jealous person, not a wealthy person concerned about where their money is going.

Of course. I'd rather prefer the money of financial aid being spent in raising teacher's salaries. That would money better spent.

Who said the schools aren’t prioritizing families “in need”? Where is your data? And why do you get to be the arbiter of need instead of the school, which actually analyzes need after collecting financial information?

You simply think you should be the one to decide how schools manage their own money. That’s a very entitled belief.

I know. Its a wish. It will be spent in affluent families living in NW DC. About 20 percent of the School budget.

School publish statistics on this. How many families are really poor? How many live in poor neighborhoods? Could families that go to expensive schools do not have any other options or could they go to a cheaper school paying full tuition?

There is an answer to all this questions, but you might not like the answer.

K-12 schools don’t typically publish data like this. If they did, I’m sure you’d be citing them as proof that aid is going to those other than the desperately poor (though I’m sure you’d complain about them getting aid too because you simply detest all financial aid).

The schools don’t require aided families to be desperately poor or have literally zero other school options.

Do you rail similarly against college financial aid?
