[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read the entire thread but some pages. Quite a few PP said something like "can't afford then leave". As a Sidwell parent, I feel this type of expression is harmful to the Sidwell community. When we selected Sidwell over other schools several years ago, one of the important factors was the welcome feeling at Sidwell.[/quote]

I hear you but I don't understand you. Sidwell is by nature a very exclusive community in a number of ways anyways. I think the original comment is far more damaging to the community. It is complaining and calls oit someone by name and insults him. That is not productive.[/quote]

These are more productive ways to deal with this than venting negatively and lashing out on DCUM:

1) Go to the board
2) Find a way to make an extra 1500 somehow. If you have a high schooler, have him/her get a job.
3) If you can pay 41K but not 42K, you are very well off, and you can investigate a whole slew of other school options. 
4) Go to the school and ask for FA to cover the difference if you have no other way to cover the gap.
5) Make a spreadsheet of the costs from now to graduation and think hard about what you want to do. Going public is not a punishment btw!

No one is saying "leave" as an insult. It is being said as a reality check.[/quote]
