[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's un-Quaker about recognizing that applicants from wealthier families are more likely to help keep the school's operation financially sustainable?[/quote] A fundamental element of Quaker values is simplicity. Charging such high tuition rates is the opposite.[/quote] A fundamental element of operating an Independent school is financial resources. Having none eliminates the institution. [/quote] Then (a) operate on a smaller budget or (b) drop the claim to Quaker values or (c) do neither and be a hypocrite. Sidwell chooses (c). [/quote] That is a pretty fatalistic world view. If you don't like the school, don't go there. Do you have the same complaint for Penn Charter ($38,500) Germantown Friends ($38,450) Friends Select ($38,650) Friends Central ($38,250) Sandy Springs ($34,250) or the NY Seminary ($51,000 without lunch)? [/quote] Yes, same complaint. [/quote]
