[quote=Anonymous]You sound angry and indignant, OP. I don't think there is a private school parent out there who doesn't agree that the tuition is ridiculously high, but your attitude seems very off-putting to me - you seem to think the school is lucky to have you there in the first place.

Again, I agree that the tuition is high, but I also think you should educate yourself about the budgets of the private schools. They do not get any funding from taxes and tuition alone does not cover the total costs that the schools incur from the salaries of the faculty/staff to the maintenance of the facilities (plus all the other expenses). Schools rely on donations from families throughout the years to help cover these costs. If you don't want to give a significant amount at least consider giving a small amount ($5, $10, $20) since schools also rely on getting the higher percentages of parental support in order to apply for grants from various organizations. Without the strong support of the community then the organizations will not give grants.

Also, I don't think anyone will "brand" you at your school for not donating, but if you present with the attitude you do here in your OP then you will be branded as a bit of a pill - just saying. You don't come across as very nice on this one. I'm hoping I'm wrong for the sake of the school you are about to enter...[/quote]
