[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Socioeconomic diversity requires someone to pay the tuition for the poor families.  It is extremely expensive and most of the private schools are throwing millions at this annually.  Perhaps they should cut down the financial aid budgets and put their money to better use.  Let these financial aid kids go to public school instead.[/quote]

You guys are obtuse AF. You do understand that the 60k price of these schools is not the actual price. It’s called tuition discounting. Plenty of “financial aid kids” have resources and would not be going to public school if they didn’t have aid at a “60k” school. They would be going to less expensive private schools. The schools actually care more about socioeconomic diversity than racial diversity, there are no programs to increase applications for minorities the financial aid programs exist to allow for socioeconomic diversity which is correlated with racial diversity.

Wow you are naive.  We understand that poor people incorrectly consider this a discount.  It is not.  The people paying the bills view financial aid as charity.  We are paying the bills for parents who cannot afford the tuition.  We also understand that there are other options besides public school like cheap privates, however we consider those equivalent to public school.  Go to public school or a cheap private.  We don't care.  Stop mooching.[/quote]
