[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm… as we hone in on the ultra wealthy and shed off the $200K or so "average" families…that will definitely result in a most obnoxious cohort of students -- it will be harder and harder for these private schools to act on ex-missions of the wealthiest kids who may, in these often intimate class sizes, bring a less than healthy atmosphere to a class that is diverse economically. The schools will not only lose the middle class families, but some of the brightest children who will look good on the college acceptances won't be able to afford it. Then we get into padding the universities and the William Kennedy Smith and George Hugely the V types…sailing on because of money --not scholarship[/quote]

Another problem is this:

As schools lose their middle and upper middle class, they become more and more beholden to full pay families who can pay full fare + donate $$$. So, when problems arise with the DC of one of these " important families to our community" what is the fall out ?? The school  caves to the VIP for their $$$$ and your school loses what : quality teachers ( the really good ones) who will not compromise their integrity ( snow flake is getting that bad mark, sorry) , Admin burn out ( and the strain of constantly bringing in new Admin blood) . and ultimately mutiny among the Indians and the school falls apart.

Teachers want to teach, not kiss ass. Administrators need to be able to lead a school and manage their faculty , not "partner with parents" and kids need to follow the rules . Money and and over dependance on same corrupts all of this.[/quote]
