This comment makes zero sense.[/quote]

I get it from a school budget perspective.  Full pay families have to subsidize the FA families.  Many are also donating on top of that.[/quote]

That has nothing to do with saying that families looking for financial aid aren’t interested in supporting the school or the community. An absurd comment.[/quote]

A prior poster here with about 300k income said a 20% tuition discount was not big enough.

The best way I know of measuring support to a school is in dollars.[/quote]
Time is money. All the schools DC has attended have been extremely appreciative of the parent volunteers that make dozens of things possible, from teacher appreciation events to early-years holiday room parties to the parents who organize meals for the HS students staying at rehearsal until 8 pm for the play.

That happens everywhere, including public schools.  Not the same as financial support but also appreciated.[/quote]
Financial support also happens everywhere, including publics, even if your kid doesn’t go to the local public. Source: the fliers stuck in my door by students asking for donations or selling products in support of the local (Fairfax) public ES, MS, and HS drama departments, bands, and every individual sport under the sun. Some of which I do give money to, along with my kid’s private school. [/quote]

Kids fundraising is not relevant at all here.[/quote]
