[quote=Anonymous]OMG, did you not read carefully enough to see that I caveated the Stanford example with "I know colleges are much more deep-pocketed given their vast endowments" and "I know private schools don't have the money to make this same kind of statement"? The fact that PK-12, K-8, etc. schools may not have the same endowment or FA budgets doesn't change anything. No one is expecting them to be exactly like Stanford or other deep-pocketed colleges, but one must think that there are other ways for them to signal a true commitment to encouraging application and matriculation in greater numbers by lower-income families. I have a hard time believing that lower-income students or their families are somehow inherently unsuited or less well-suited for private school than others. If they have a hard time adapting or fitting in, that's on the school and its community to do better IMO.[/quote]
