[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you Ellington haters need to go back to whatever midwestern state you're from.  since many of you claim that most of the students that attend Ellington are from MD and VA, perhaps you should do a FOIA request for documentation about tuition collection.  However, it is not likely that you will do that because all of baseless assumptions would be proven wrong.  I think Iowa is calling you.[/quote]

I went to Ellington in the late 80s and still live in DC. While I have never been to Iowa I am sure it is lovely.

That said the spending is out of control. There are just over 500 kids in the school. That spending level is much too high. My employer generously supports Ellington and is a major contributor to their 2015 Benefit Concert which includes a performance by Bobby McFerrin. The amount the raise is staggering. Now it seems shameful in light of the public spending too.

For the other PP about asking wealthy parents to pay I know that doesn't happen but do other schools get celebrities to headline events? [/quote]
