What ever happened to diversity, inclusion and equity?[/quote]

DEI doesn't mean every single person who wants to go to private school gets to go to private school for free.  Free school is public school. Private schools and their aid budgets are funded by other parents paying full tuition plus contributing to the annual fund.  Whether that's right or fair is beside the point. That's the reality.[/quote]

Diversity and inclusion means you have a huge range of students.  Families making under $80K should be far more deserving of a family making $200-300K who claims poverty because of their housing and other lifestyle choices.  Its funny how these schools and families preach what they don't practice.  [/quote]

SAHM and homeschooling usually *is* a lifestyle choice.[/quote]

I would definitely choose to quit my job and stay home if it meant we could get financial aid to send my kids to private for free!  Suspect many others would also be interested in that sweet deal.[/quote]
How would u pay your rent, groceries, and all your other expenses.  Nobody is going to purposely not have income just to get free tuition.  [/quote]

I only have to work so that I can send my kids to private school. If we did not have to pay for 3 kids private a school education, my DH’s salary would be more than enough.[/quote]

Having three kids was a choice you made.  And, three kids are expensive.  You probably could have stopped at one and then been a SAH and paid for private.[/quote]

Well, right, it was a choice.  PP chooses to work to put her three kids in private.  And OP chooses not to work, but then expects to get financial aid for "diversity" though hasn't given any indication of what would make her student/family stand out against dozens of others with similar income levels.  So she'll have to roll the dice and she if she gets offered anything and if it will be enough.  All choices.[/quote]

[b]This.  A parent who doesn't want to work isn't the kind of diversity they're looking for.  Private schools have plenty of parents who don't want to work.[/b][/quote]

BINGO. OP, you bring nothing to the table needed for this meal but you're asking for a handout.

I am going to guess that you are white and living in PG county and homeschooling because you are afraid of the schools? And your DH is military maybe? because what else public service is he maxing out at $80k after a long career? Even bus drivers can make more than that. [/quote]

Lots of government jobs - county and federal max out at that income level.  They especially max out at the local/county level.  Military would be enlisted and you wouldn't make $80K except if you are including housing allowance.  Enlisted, even at 20 years and higher ranking don't make that much.  Kinda sad if we pay bus drivers more than military.

They are probably local/county government.[/quote]

No, my guess is he's military and plays an instrument.  She said about him (to paraphrase):  "he has been training for this career since he was a child, he serves our country and he can't transfer to a higher paying job". 
I bet he does something like plays trumpet for a military band.  (What else could he be training for since childhood?)

He is probably enlisted (limited potential to advance in in pay)
She stays at home and homeschools. 
They live somewhere in PG or way out in VA. 
Not sure why their kid needs to go to a high-end high school.

What is wrong with you that you are so nasty and hostile?  And, hate military, the very people keeping this country safe so you can live in comfort which many other citizens of other countries don't have the luxury to do.
