Shenanigans.  This isn't about free tuition, it's simply preferential consideration for admission, for highly valued staff members.  Not at all the same.

Which desirable private schools in the area do you claim do not offer this?

Are you asking which private schools do not offer full tuition remission for faculty members?  I know for a fact that Sidwell and Beauvoir do not.  Children of faculty have to apply, be accepted and go through the financial aid process just like everybody else.  Do they get preference for admissions?  Probably not officially, but I'm sure the administrations like having them, it tends to increase SES diversity.  And as mentioned before it helps retain talent and reduce turnover.  Do they get preference for financial aid?  No.  All schools that I am aware of contract out for need-based financial aid decisions.  There is grant money that the schools use to supplement those numbers, and some of that money may be earmarked for faculty, but it's not a given.  And even 70-80% off of $35K+ is no free ride for somebody on a private school teacher's salary.[/quote]
