[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it’s out of hand. At one of DCs school half the class was staff/teacher kids. The teacher kids are very frequently favored and have behavior problems. I doubt some of them would have been admitted if they weren’t staff/teacher kids. The tuition remission varies at each school and some schools give a “favored” FA package to staff/teachers verses, or in addition to, tuition remission. What irks me is that I don’t think it attracts the best teachers because so many of the teachers at my DCs school leave after the child graduates or moves on. It just sends a message that they are only there to receive tuition remission and not to teach. I don’t know the answer, but I do think that not all staff/teacher kids should be admitted. There is a whole different set of rules that apply to staff/teacher kids and it gets old watching it.[/quote]

It is also true that many other kids would not be admitted if their parents were not wealthy. Admissions is complicated, and far from being a pure meritocracy. Your school would have a tough time attracting and retaining faculty if there was little chance of them sending their kids to the school ( as long as the kid is capable of succeeding at the school).
