Listen, at my son's school, no one talks about who is on financial aid, but it is also clear that there are families where it would be impossible for them to pay one or two full tuitions.  So in a sense, you do know.  And it never enters into the minds of parents or kids in any way.

Having said that, I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with having a discussion about whether FA has been abused by families with wealth.  Obviously, the intention here is to see that the system is improved.  I certainly don't think anyone would question why a single mom earning 55K would get financial aid.  But I would question why a person earning about $200K in a huge house is getting it.[/quote]

Sigh. You really don't get it: that $200K income and "huge house" are not sufficient basis for SSS or schools to make FA decisions, and therefore you should not judge on that basis either.[/quote]

Thank you - - Does the ppp think someone making $200,000 with three children can afford to spend $100,000 of pretax money on school? If they only had one child, yes, it is probably doable. [/quote]
