[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm….most of the elite private schools were started to separate the wealthy/elite from the masses in the public schools. It's got nothing to do with the financial aid system. [/quote] If your view is that independent schools exist for the purpose of educating the wealthy/elite and that's how it should stay, that's fine, but then don't disingenuously make arguments about why families can afford it in situations where it's clearly not rational.[/quote] Your argument seems to be that a family making $400k/year should have the same lifestyle as a family earning $800k/year, at least as far as school goes. They should feel the pain of paying for private equally. I am a bleeding heart liberal, support higher taxes for people in my income bracket, give generously to charities and the private school, etc. I find your insistence that high income (but not the very, tip top) families should get subsidized absurd. The idea that a $400k income family doesn't need to prioritize/make choices and someone with more money should pick up the tab is really, really weird. [/quote]
