[quote=Anonymous]A lot of people who have been to boarding prep schools from the 1970s on can claim to have friends they lived with for 1-4 hears who are from Venezuela.

It is/was very regular to send girls from Asia, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to US boarding schools. Often schools in other places stopped at 9th grade. The US would pay for children of US foreign workers to complete grades through 12 here.

Also, the international students were all full pay. At that time it was like "only 15K a year" but I got 100% scholarship to that school. Today I think it's like 70K+

I didn't pay a dime for my whole education at that school. I had work study. I wiped down some classrooms on the off hour and clapped some erasers and washed some blackboards. I lackadaisically patrolled books in the library on the Dewey Decimal system to see when kids had put back books in the completely wrong place.

The international students from Venezuela, Asia and Saudi Arabia financed my education.

Now I'm thinking of the kids from Venezuela because they all live in Caracas[/quote]
