If you work at a private school and have kids...

[Anonymous]

I taught in a DC independent school (not Big 3- but big tuition!). After my second child was born, decided to quit. My salary would barely cover daycare for a toddler and an infant. Add to that, gas, wear and tear from outer suburbs. Plus, the school I worked for, only gave “financial aid” to teachers. No guaranteed discount. Add to that, pre-k was not eleigible for financial aid. There was not guarantee your kid would get a spot in K either.

Decided to send kids to Catholic k-12 in our suburb. Ended up teaching there too. They awarded 50% tuition discount after two years of employment.

Generational wealth FTW!

It makes me cringe that a teacher uses that term...

Potomac offers remission after two years of service.

My school has 60% remission, plus whatever a family qualifies for in financial aid.

Tuition remission after the first year. But not free at all.

Of course not. We are treated as the help for the one percent. Unions are needed at private schools. The contract you sign allows them to do whatever the want. So while all these schools pretend to be woke they all exploit workers.

My kids' school gives 50% off tuition. I don't work there but asked a parent who does. They also expanded their preschool hours and options with the explicit purpose of being able to retain teachers once they have babies. I think it's a smart move as it reduces attrition and builds community.

I think you get a pretty significant preference for purposes of admission.

False. My child was denied admission at my school.

A friend taught at St Stephens and St Agnes School. He got half-off tuition. He sent both of his sons there, but paying for it on his salary was very, very difficult.

Yes, I'm in admin and my kids go for free.
