[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im subsidizing white middle class kids whose parents are incapable of feeling embarrassed to go to private school.  At $2.5 HHI, its insignificant for me, other than the fact that my kids have to go to school with the kids of these terrible people.[/quote]

Why should they be embarrassed?  All of these seeming inequities are inherent in any system with financial aid.

Here's an idea:  How about lowering the sticker price and not having any financial aid at all--with maybe a very few exceptions for, say, a child already in the school who has a parent die and come down with a very expensive medical condition.  [/quote]

If only we had a option in this country for k-12 education that was free to all!  That way if the kid's family befell some financial hardship they wouldn't have to leave school. [/quote]

If only we had a option in this country for k-12 education that was free to all AND of the same quality for all. This notion that people who don't make 2.5m a year she be fine with their kid getting an OK/mediocre education is nonsense. Let's not be delusional here, the better "free" schools are in the expensive neighborhoods. Guess what that means? They aren't so free -- high ass taxes! NOT free, and certainly NOT available to all![/quote]

Yes, it would be great if school quality were more equal, but the poster with the $225K HHI could certainly afford to live in a small house/townhouse/condo in Bethesda or McLean and send their kids to a very very good public school. Not an "OK/mediocre" education, but a great education. [/quote]
