[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am guessing the PP was objecting to the term "freeloaders" which implies kids on FA (in any school) are a drain on the institution while contributing nothing of value. FA kids often contribute to the academic reputation of a school while adding a different perspective and set of life experiences to classroom discussions. Of course there is a monetary pricetag on this, but many schools feel there is a real value to offering FA. [/quote] Sadly, at our kids' school, the "different perspective" is too often based on the fact that both mom and dad work at DOJ or on the hill, as opposed to only one parent working at DOJ or on the hill, and the other working at a lobbying firm, law firm or in successful banking. Not exactly the kind of sweeping diversity I was hoping for! [/quote]
