[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I am the person that pulls your family out of burning buildings and walked up the towers while your husband walked down. I might need a few thousand to send my kids to our school. Yes and my house was appraised close to  $1M a few years ago but I could never actually afford that.  I say if you don't like it send your kids to public. Most people we know at private aren't as selfish as you.[/quote]

Nope, I'm happy to support the kids of firefighters and other civil servants who do vital, lower-than-it-ought-to-be-paid work.  I'm not talking about you and you probably know it.  I'm talking (though I agree it might not have been clear from my earlier post) about the people who live large but find ways to hide income or assets to get FA they don't really need or shouldn't need if they made better financial choices.

p.s.  Thank you for your service.  My brother is a firefighter and I'm grateful to him and all the other firest responders who do what they do (and I get REALLY pissed at all the SAHMs who say it is the HARDEST job in the world, but that's another rant).[/quote]

Well I was addressing the $1M house comment. People think we must have family money or something. Just bought at a good time and save and love Ocean City. [/quote]

No need to be snippy about what people do for a living.  If you're a firefighter, that's great.  No reason to discuss how you "walk up" while others "walk down."  And I don't think there's much relationship between your job and whether people should be expected to pull equity out of their homes to pay for things they are trying to afford, like private school.

If a family applies for financial aid and has a second home in Ocean City for example then I'd say NO aid.   [/quote]
