[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
This is really worrisome.

We're a 2 income professional family--HHI $400k.  Again we can swing the $44K but $50K in 2 years and $65K in 6 gets crazy.  
This prices out us and everyone like us---you know all [i]everyone but the richest of the rich.[/i]   My husband is a doctor and I'd say this prices out 95% of physicians. All lawyers except equity partners. 
I'm worried that if we go down this road my kid will be in school with only the children of hedge fund managers.  :(

That said, he loved the school and we loved a lot about the school.  [/quote]

+1.  Our DS is not at St. Alban's but is at another school with what seem like huge tuition increases each year.  Like you, we may be priced out if the increases are too much.

[b]How can we ask parents push back without causing the schools to dislike us?  [/b]The schools should offer an explanation, and not just assume that everyone can absorb the increase. I work for a large corporation that is well-managed, and we are very conscious of our prices.[/quote]

This is a very good question and one a lot of people would like the answer to.

Is this an issue that could be taken up by a group like the Parents Council of Washington, the group that is supposed to unify interests of all of the area privates?[/quote]
