[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhere along the ling, private schools lost sight of the benefits of enabling employees to enroll their own children.  Need-blind remission is the best benefit that any school can offer to retain top faculty and staff.   How did it happen that what was once a universal policy among schools is now the exception?

I've seen wonderful, inspiring teachers become resentful over time that they didn't qualify for aid (especially those with a spouse who earns just enough to pay these huge DC area mortgages) and cannot give the same great school experience to their own child that they make possible for others.  Some of them move on -- but some of them stay and are less emotionally invested in the school community.

My son has 4 teachers each day, and only one of them has school-aged children.  Why shouldn't her 4th grade daughter have access to the same education?  [/quote]

Thank you. As a teacher who can't afford to send my son to the school I've dedicated my life to and adore, I can't tell you how much it pains me to see so many people misunderstand the need and importance of tuition remission for teachers. I can tell you, teachers in Independent and private schools do not make a lot of money. Our spouses are the breadwinners, but that doesn't mean they are making over 100,000 a year. Thank you, again.[/quote]
