Private school is a luxury.  No one should be expected to foot the bill for someone else's child.  Those of us who pay tuition still subsidize the public schools through our taxes (rightly so), should we also be expected to subsidize the tuition of those who choose to go to private school?

I think there are 2 or 3 people repeating the farcical Financial Aid Welfare Queen story over and over (driving an Audi while receiving financial aid! receiving weekly Botox injections while filling out the financial aid forms! luxuriating on the French Riviera while other parents work 160-hour weeks in ghastly law firm jobs so they can donate ever more to the school!).

If you are unhappy with the way financial aid is disbursed at your child's school, you have 2 choices:

1. Talk to the school administrators and demand changes in the system (based on whatever information you think you have about people cheating the system) so that 
a) financial aid programs are ended; or 
b) the programs are changed to only give $ to the very poorest families, perhaps those living below the poverty line. Then your children will go to school with millionaires like yourselves plus a handful of extremely poor children "for whom private school will change the trajectory of their lives." There will be no middle class government worker/nonprofit worker/professor kids' children, and very few of your own children's teachers will continue to send their children to the school at which they work, but perhaps that's OK with you.

2.  Stop donating.

But I think you would all rather gather here and repeat your false stories.[/quote]
