[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Donors shouldn't give if they don't trust the school.  You should trust them.  The school doesn't benefit by giving financial aid where there's no value-add to the community.

The added value is giving aid to middle classed families?  The school wants its student body to be representative of society at large.  The community needs to be more a barbell of rich people and those you seem to need to think are charity cases.  In this area, a family earning $200K cannot pay for two children to attend private school.  But we need them in the community, so they get adjusted tuition.

So, yes, donate.  So that your children have friends all along the socio-economic spectrum and a diversity of backgrounds.  Otherwise they're going to graduate with a very skewed perception of the world.

Hahaha.  People do NOT send their children to our $55k private school for diversity of socio economic backgrounds.   Please.

If I wanted that, I’d send my kid to the giant local very good public which has GENUINE socioeconomic diversity.  [/quote]

I agree that public is probably where you should go.  You don't want the inclusive culture and student body that every independent school (and college) is working hard to achieve right now.  [/quote]

Calling a 55k a year private inclusive is hilarious. Do people actually believe the PR? Your school is literally designed to exclude- isn't that the whole point of competitive admissions? [/quote]
