Should financial aid in private school be stricter?

OP, if you are so certain someone defrauded FA at your school, go report the family to the administration. But you're not certain, are you? Hence you troll here with your B.S. nonsense.

If you think it’s not a genuine concern, don’t reply to my posts. Easy.

Shouldn’t fínancial aid be stricter (let’s say truly low income households) and perhaps the brightest or athletic chidlren from middle class families.

In its current form (at least in my children’s school) the financial aid looks pretty much like a giveaway for well off parents. Does anyone observe the same pattern?

Yes! And it really bothers me when my donations go to a family whose parent drives a Tesla and mom doesn't work, and kid is mediocre. I want to be busting my ass to support a gifted and motivated kid who wouldn't be able to attend without aid.

Just yourself the frustration and stop donating your $200.

If it's genuine, if families are cheating the system as you clearly have alleged here, then go bring your concerns to the school. Ask for a meeting. It's your money, and theirs, don't you owe it to the school to report fraud? I am sure the administration will be glad to know your thoughts and concerns.

Sure. Does that imply that it’s not possible to mention it in this forum? Why?

Financial aid if not properly designed can lead to the same bad outcomes of social welfare. For instance during the pandemic the support transfers were much higher than the wages for some people, and some decided it was not worth working (the program was good but too generous).

The same thing with financial aid. If one parent decides not to work, it makes it easier to qualifiy for financial aid…. At the expense of couples that are full time workers. The system is a bit perverse.

Well by all means, please share this as well when you meet with the administration - the perversion of SAHMs who are really working moms who "decide not to work" to qualify for FA. Lay it all out, all this fraud.

What does this do? Nothing. If you want to stop the fraud, you need to report it promptly to the administration in person.

Love it. When you switch to insults is when you ran out of arguments and you are losing patience. Please go on.

As any post. I think it is nice to gather different opinions, rather than blocking them. Not sure this is very different from any post in DCUM.

I ran out of desire, not arguments, and concluded with you are stupid. Well, I always knew you are stupid, but this is me signing off.

Ciao stupid.

That’s ok. Don’t worry. Normally people don’t miss posts of obnoxious parents.

It’s just that the system is rotten.

Also check the parents that strategically decide to work less to get more financial aid. Beautiful strategy. Super fair.

I do see that pattern. One parent decides to stop working when kids join school. Most likely related to financial aid.
