[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op didn't argue for getting rid of the system; she argued for re-engineering it so it prevented certain kinds of outcomes. And the type of re-engineering she's talking about would benefit the least-well-off rather than make it more difficult for them to qualify for FA. [/quote] OP did not say she wanted to improve the FA system. She said, without knowing all the particulars, that she wanted the person in the $1 million dollar house to have no FA. [/quote] OP here. I thought I actually made it clear. I DO know the particulars. And I am aghast that someone who makes $250K a year, who has about $700K in equity in a house, and who sends her children to expensive summer camps is draining my childrens' school's financial aid coffers. What exactly is wrong with being upset about that? I would happily contribute (and do) to INCREASE the pool of financial aid in my childrens' school. That does not mean I want it going to families who are NOT NEEDY.[/quote]
