[quote=Anonymous]I feel some frustration at times, too. Without aid my kid wouldn’t be able to attend. We live in a rental apartment and most of my kid’s classmates live in enormous houses both in DC and the burbs. We don’t complain publicly to anyone about our costs, yet many of those families do! And their kids get the $300+ per month daily lunch delivery, go on all the trips, etc.

The rich will never be rich enough and yet continue to get more discounts and benefits throughout life.

It’s just how it is. And it’s part of why we send our kid to private. I want better for him than what I can provide and want him exposed to what I cannot otherwise expose him to.

We are lucky to get aid and I know it. I guess I’m slightly bitter about the wealthy getting their discounts and also feel uncomfortable and out of place when I see photos of their fancy school events. All that said, at the same time I am also incredibly thankful that my family directly benefits. It’s odd feeling so conflicted.[/quote]
