[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed that your definition of diversity is "poor people." Since when does diversity mean a sprinkling of poor people? Give me a break. Poor people rarely have any interest in sending their kids to a $40K school.[/quote]
It's not my definition.  I was simply responding to PP's preposterous claim that giving FA to top 10 to 20 percent families somehow helps make private schools more diverse, because otherwise, if you don't, private schools will be full of really rich and really poor students and that's just terrible.

And stop it with this notion that those making between $75K and $105K are "poor people."

Finally, who made you the spokesperson for poor people?  How do you know they don't have any interest in sending their kids to private schools, whether ones that cost $40K or much less?  In some ways it's quite condescending to assume that poor families wouldn't want the benefits of a private school education, especially if schools made legitimate efforts to accommodate their financial circumstances.[/quote]
