[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There ARE some private schools that do not offer financial aid.  Why don't you all move your children to them?  The British School comes to mind, and it's not hard to gain admission.

The top schools (and almost all second tier schools) adjust tuition based on a family's ability to pay.  It's at the core of their educational philosophy.  And, there are waiting lists of families willing to pay full tuition to get into them.  If you disagree about FA, then just vote with your tuition dollars and go elsewhere.  If enough of you do it, then enrollment will fall at these top schools and they'll adjust their policies.  Maybe.

Not gonna do it, are you?  So why waste your breath?  You know what you're in for when you enroll your child.  Fulfill your obligation as a member of this community that you wanted so very much to join.         [/quote]

You don't know.  You think that aid goes to well deserving families and perhaps to increase socioeconomic or racial diversity then you find out it is going out to well off non diverse families who are hiding money and driving a 7 series and going on multiple vacations.
