[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think the $5 a year responder is a bit crazy. Really, couldn't you give up some Starbucks or one dinner out so you could send in $100? Assuming you can afford the private in the first place..[/quote] I'm a new poster, and think you are more than a bit crazy. What a stupid "Let them eat cake" statement. Scholarships rarely pay full costs. How do you know that the $5 poster isn't already giving up all Starbucks and all dinners out to pay the family's portion? For family of four living on $50,000 a year, $100 could represent a week's food budget. And, yes, people like that actually do sometimes get scholarships to send their bright kids to private school. [/quote] Yes, I am more than a bit crazy. However, I think if the teachers can also participate in giving in the 100% range at these schools, I think the parents should be expected to as well.
