[quote=Anonymous]Child has been in both public and private schools. Sometimes the fundraisers in public help support the class, namely families who could not afford x,y, z otherwise. Savvy publics and charters lay that out for those contemplating donating to the class trip/experience. We live in a solidly upper middle class neighborhood. We give to kids who make the case for their school and/or offer to work, ie pet sit, babysit clean out garage etc. to ensure all kids have opportunities, not because mom and dad who live in a 2M+ home want them to ask the neighbors to help pay for their kid's crew trip. Private school is a choice and a privilege where most can afford to pay the fees and so we do, even though we don't have a huge HHI. We make financial tradeoffs in order to fund private school, ie fewer vacations, smaller house, one car etc. If the situation were to become financially untenable, we would simply make other choices. YMMV. [/quote]
