[quote=Anonymous]You have to reapply for aid each year. The teachers won't treat your kid differently and the school won't give you less of a voice although frankly, no parents have much of a voice at these schools (if you are talking about the top schools). Perhaps the giant donors do. But the regular full-pay families don't really have a voice either. And the community? It depends. I'd like to say that class (and race for that matter) don't matter when it comes to socialization but they definitely do. Families(and later in high school---the kids themselves) tend to segregate in large part by these factors (in my experience with 3 kids at 2 different Big3 private schools). I don't mean that your kid won't have any playdates but you also likely won't be finding your new BFFs among the wealthy crowd (which depending on the class can be a big part of the grade). They are surface courteous but tend to stick together. [/quote]
