[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gap is real. At our school your tuition covers about 78% of the cost of educating your kid. Yes it's crazy expensive and yes people have a lot of money and prioritize education. Thanks to some of the more wealthy generous folks, all of our kids receive an outstanding education at schools with exceptional facilities, faculty, and programs. [/quote]

The gap is real in the same sense as any accounting line item is real ... the government reported decifit numbers are real too, but you have to understand baseline, which trust funds are included or not, projected interest rates and economic growth rates and on an on.  Same thing with school gaps ... they can be tricked out to be whatever the school chooses.  This is not to say that giving isn't important and doesn't support programs and FA ... clearly donations are important.  But clearly, most families give nothing close to the gap per child and yet the school soldiers on ... there is a reason for that outcome.[/quote]
