[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please, if your finances are as precarious as you say then you have no business sending your child to an expensive school that charges $30k plus per year.

Why do you think other people (financial aid donors) should help you pay for this luxury?  I understand paying for a child with no other opportunities...but not for a child who has engaged, working parents who just don't want to change their lifestyle to find a good school system (of which there are many in this area).  Honestly, if you want a good school system for your child, take your lumps, move and find it.  It is too bad that you don't think you should have to make these tough compromises/decisions/etc.   Why should some other person (financial aid donor) supplement something which is, for you, essentially a life choice...and why should a child with no options have to share financial aid dollars with you?  Grow up and make the tough choices we all make. [/quote]

Financial aid is part of the operating budget and philosophy of almost every school mentioned on this board.  And it's intended not only for those living in poverty, but to help middle class families be able to afford to attend.

If you don't believe in tuition adjusted to a family's ability to pay, then it's you who should be looking at publics.  You aren't in the right place.
