[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about families that the mom doesn't work even though kids are in school all day and every time you see her she's in her tennis whites coming from the country club? Do you think that is fair for them to receive aid? [/quote] I can only speak for my DCs school. In a family in that situation applies for FA, the school will provide an average income based on the SAHM parents prior profession or education if the SAHM has never worked. If the calculation says they still qualify for aid, then I do not have a problem with it. I can think of one person who fits this model and supposedly her rich father pays for all of their family to have memberships but aside from that she lives a fairly middle class lifestyle. If they are cheating the system that sucks. However, my view is that it's the school's responsibility to make sound financial decisions. I assume they are doing so and are judicious in making good decisions about who gets FA and how much.[/quote]
