[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard a past President say that it is important for every family to have some skin in the game, so they will never give a full ride. That's why there is a cap.[/quote] I find this so offensive, the idea that $10k or whatever is “skin in the game” where if it’s just the school their CHILD goes to for free, they won’t care. [/quote] Not offensive. Practical. And the amount chosen is based on what the family FA form shows they can afford. So if they can afford it, why wouldn't they be expected to contribute to the school community with some tuition dollars like everyone else? Adn if they disagree that they can afford it, then that is their value judgment about the school and education, right?[/quote] It is funny that someone is pretending it is offensive when a school doesn't hand out a big enough financial aid package and wants private school to be completely free instead. The freeloader mindset.[/quote]
