[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do get to have an opinion on the financial decisions of others? [b]And spare me the "my money is funding your child" rhetoric, because it is simply NOT true. [/b]

1. No ones tuition -- even you precious full pay people - covers your child'a entire education for the year. If you actually believe that I would suggest you talk to the people on your Board and in the finance office.

2. If you are sooo offended that you are appalled at the idea of donating...then DONT. If what you worried about are appearances, then you deserve having to come up off money you don't want to.

4. Finally, worry about YOURSELF. Sit on your high horse abs pat yourself on the back for not needing FA or not being willing to lower and demean yourself to ask for any because your pride is fatter than your bank account.

3. Here is a novel idea -- YOU send your kids to public school and you won't have to worry about what's going on at the private schools.

I'm sorry this hits a nerve, but, at least at one of my DC's schools, this is wrong. They are very upfront that some percentage -- I forget what it is, maybe 5 - 8% of tuition dollars -- goes to financial aid. That's just a fact. You pay it whether you want to or not.

So yes, I think that does give me a right to have an opinion about this.[/quote]
