[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should compete for that student, who will want for nothing in life by virtue of being rich and talented, by offering a truly exceptional school experience, not by taking money away from kids who need it. I hope my kids' school doesn't want a family that is that wealthy but not willing willing to pay tuition because they think their kid is so great she should go to the highest bidder. Not great values.[/quote]

No one said that the family was seeking this. But if they had acceptances at three equivalent schools and one school really wanted the student and offered a free ride, [b]then it’s a win-win for both student and school to accept the offer[/b]. Happy wealthy parents potentially mean large donations to the school, so it’s hard to see a loser in this scenario. [/quote]

The best academic students, athletes, musicians and artists will bring a lot of attention to the school.  For example, I think everyone knows where Katie Ledecky went to high school.  She attended public school but I am sure had she wanted to go to Sidwell, it would have been free for her.

The publicity/exposure for the school is worth more than 4 years of tuition.  [/quote]
