[quote=Anonymous]My spouse's school won't admit our kids because it would be too much of a financial sacrifice for the school to give us the *partial* tuition remission.  They told us that straight up, basically, but only after spouse worked there for awhile and it came time for our kids to apply.  So the perk may exist on paper, but not in reality.   And this is at a financially secure, in-demand school:  it's not that they don't have the money, it's that they'd rather give spaces to kids whose parents can pay full fare, for obvious reasons.  Our kids now go to an equally respected private, on FA, which is fine - I'm not complaining about their situation, only about spouse's school's initial dishonesty.

My advice would be that anyone considering teaching at a school for the tuition break should negotiate their kids' tuition AND admission up front.  At least it's clear to everyone, then, whether there is any available benefit or whether the "tuition remission" is a carrot that will forever dangle at the end of the stick. Get that carrot in writing if you expect to eat it![/quote]
