[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts here makes me think that Sidwell doesn't love its middle class families and neither does the rest of the parent body. [/quote]

Disagree. The school pays millions in financial aid so students from middle (and lower) class families can attend. What we are having is one or a handful of supposed full pay parents complaining about a 3.5% increase. Yes, it is a burden and yes, it will likely increase about the same each year. But complaining about it on this forum and opening the discussion to anonymous trolls to pile on isn't the right approach.

In my opinion, the right approach is to send a note to the head of school and request a meeting and discuss how the school is working to contain costs and what the options are for the family in question. If the family can show that the increase is too much of a financial burden, it is possible they can apply for FA for the difference in the rate increase. If the family cannot show that burden, then they will have to decide if the cost is worth it for their student(s) and family.
