[quote=Anonymous][quote]but my paying full tuition does not cover the full cost of my DS's attending the school. It costs the school something around $8000 to $9000 over the charged tuition fee for each student each year. [/quote] That is what they tell you (and me too) but I am skeptical because the terms aren't defined -- even in the annual report. For example, some of that __ thousands of dollars is paying down debt on a luxe arts/sports facility that is 1. over the top and on par with a swank college and 2. not actually necessary if everyone's is being honest. And that's just one example. I feel jerked around by the purposefully vague language schools use when they attempt to guilt-trip parents that our tuition "doesn't cover" the cost. There are some intelligent thoughts on this very topic ["closing the gap"] imbedded in other threads, with some insight from Big 7 board members. [/quote]
