[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dispelling several myths perpetrated on this forum:

5.  The majority of FA dollars go to families making more than $100k, with a significant portion going to families with incomes above $200k.
6.  The majority of FA dollars go to residents of the suburban counties and not the district itself.

Ok.  So Here is the problem and solution.  The school should decrease FA to this group who making more than $100k/$200k, and admit more students who can full pay, thus decrease the need to increase tuition to current families.  Hardly to see how could those above 100k / 200k families ( since it is a Large portion) all bring something unique to the school.  Those students who were merely missed the admission “standard” but can full pay willl succeed at Sidwell, and likely will be more successful than those $100k/$200k FA recipients.[/quote]

Ha!  I love this!  Let schools with strong educational reputations just serve the wealthy.  Screw that long tradition of merit as a factor.  Let's just go back to the days of finishing schools and gentleman's c's.  If your parents were not craven enough to be Big Law partners, then you can accept mediocrity in all things.[/quote]

And this is what Sidwell has become. I’m actually ashamed to be a Sidwell alum reading comments like these. And grateful my children went elsewhere. [/quote]

I am pretty confident that the PP was being sarcastic.[/quote]
