[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you really think all the rich private school parents go around asking each other how they are paying for tuition?

Family 1:  Oh, we are not going to Europe this summer
Family 2:  Putting off the new Tesla til next year
Family 3:  Decided not to buy a beach house, got a condo instead.  Because private school IS WORTH IT! 
Family 4:  My parents own an oil mine and want their grandchildren to have the best.

OP, this doesn't happen. Everyone just assumes if you're there, you scraped together money from somewhere. It will quickly come out that you don't travel 1st class, and you'll fit in accordingly. [/quote]

The question has not been specifically posed to me by anyone from the school (so I do understand what you mean), but I have overheard and been a part of conversations where parents have openly and comfortably discussed being on FA (and for whatever reason correctly assumed we were too without me offering up the information). Because those conversations seemed normal and like it was no big deal, I thought it weird that I was told by someone to "never" talk about it. Maybe the key is it's OK to discuss it with those who are also on FA and best to not discuss it with those you know are not. LOL. [/quote]
