[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are teachers at private schools somehow more deserving of financial aid than someone else of the same economic situation?  [/quote]
No. However, continual teacher turnover costs the schools money. Giving partial FA to a qualified teacher's kid saves the school money in recruitment, rehiring and explaining teacher turnover to parents. If your school makes a poor decision on which teacher's kids they accept, or retaining mediocre teachers, that's a different issue. A teacher's family, with the percentage off for one child still easily pays over $150,000 to a school for say, first through eighth grade. Less for HS only, more for a K-12.  If there are 2 kids, the discount often doesn't apply, but the school has retained a good teacher long term, at a salary and benefits far lower (STA being the exception, perhaps) than the same teacher would earn in public school. Again, if your school retains mediocre teachers, that's a separate issue. Two equally deserving qualified kids, the school stands to get a bigger return on investment from the teacher.[/quote]
