[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sense of real appreciation and gratitude toward most of my child's teachers.  Although tuition is very high, I would not think of not donating toward teacher gifts.

Tuition does not cover the cost of my child's education so I do give to the annual fund.

I do have mixed feelings about financial aid.  I have run into people who talk about getting aid, but also seem to have relatively large homes which they are extensively renovating (at least by my standards).  We have a small home with a paid off mortgage.  I have to admit I have gotten less generous with financial aid over the years, but do still give a little.

I agree with previous posters - your attitude is going to affect the experience your child has at the school.[/quote]

There are those who abuse financial aid, but there are also those who are actually thankful and appreciate that their children are given the opportunity.
That should be the schools job to weed out the ones who just know how to get it, but do not really need it.[/quote]
