[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend in his 70s who has never gotten fully over his private kicking him out when his family couldn't pay [b]after his father died. [/b]You are kind to think of this OP.[/quote]

THIS I understand, especially if it was sudden!  What I don't understand is people who are early on in private school, and more or less expect 100% or close to, financial aid every year.  No one has a right to a private school education for most years for free or nearly free, do they?  How does this work? [/quote]

Public school trolls, I assume. I'm sure there are stud athletes at certain sports-heavy privates going to free or nearly free, but normal kids? Never seen that before.[/quote]

What?  No, just befuddled that a private school education could be free.  I was raised if you can't save and pay for it yourself, it's not yours, that's all. Why is that so hard to understand?  [/quote]

But none of the private schools in our area give out free educations.  So, I'm not sure why you're befuddled by something that doesn't happen. [/quote]

You are being obtuse.  OP would be giving a free education.[/quote]

OP didn’t say whether she wanted to pay the whole tuition or not.  But surely you are befuddled by the fact that sometimes people contribute to tuition for their loved ones.  [/quote]
