[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One word -- grandparents[/quote]

Us as well.

And from what I can tell, at least one third of our school...[/quote]

Two words: white privilege. The truth is most minority families can’t rely on mommy and daddy’s money to attend private school. [/quot

Um, neither can most white people or people of any other race. Yeah, maybe the people who have grandparents who are able to do this are predominantly white, but this is still a very small minority of people either way. I'd love to have parents who were able to help out with tuition or anything else and I'm about as white as you can get. I was fortunate enough to have my parents help me pay for room and board during school and helped me in innumerable way, but I'm definitely not someone who came from "mommy daddy money" nor did my husband. I'm  sure there are a disproportionate number of kids at the really expensive privates who do have grandparents in this bucket, but there are lots of private schools that are outside this small group with much smaller price tags.

Not defending white privilege or denying its existence, but don't act like this is some common thing among white people. White skin doesn't come with a trust fund. [/quote]
