[quote=Anonymous]Our school's auction was last weekend; they had the usual "raise your paddle for FA" charade. During the Head of School's pep talk about "the need for FA being so great," people at our table were visibly smirking. (Myself included.) Honestly, I don't see how anyone can stand up there with a straight face and beg for money for this purpose, when there is clearly NO ONE in the school who is from truly dire circumstances that would make anyone feel that supporting FA is worthwhile. Yes, there are definitely have-nots, as compared to the over the top haves, but even those from modest means in our school could never be termed truly "needy." Maybe they have a hard time swinging the tuition for a couple of kids -- hell, we have a hard time swinging the tuition for our two -- but if they have to look to others to subsidize them, then maybe they simply shouldn't be there.[/quote]
