[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thats very generous of you but I would imagine that large of a gift could benefit many families more needy than one at a private school...[/quote]

You realize that there are many students in need at private schools, correct?[/quote]

They're in need but required to pay tuition? True need has tution covered...again this isn't a HHI of 100K per year type of needy.[/quote]

I'm a little stumped at how someone in need gets a free private school tuition.  NP here.  Not trying to be an ass, but it genuinely would not occur to me to stay at a school I could not afford.

I would feel differently if there were not great public schools in the area, but there are.  That, and I have heard sob stories by people whose IL's were covering the tuition. So, maybe my perspective has made me cynical - I just think (like PP) that the money could be used for another family who does not have the enormous luxury of private school.  It never occurred to me to feel entitled to private school, that's all. [/quote]

I think you are being ungenerous, and I say that as someone who firmly understands that private school is a luxury. Sometimes families experience unexpected setbacks, and disrupting a child's education at the same time would compound their trauma. I applaud the OP, even if that money could feed a hungry child in India or whatever. We do good where we can. [/quote]

Well said, PP.[/quote]
