[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone can get merit aid. Plane tickets are expensive during holidays.[/quote] and the distance expenses really do add up. My kid is at a school that you would recommend instead of what these families are choosing. It is no small thing for us to deal with the back and forth during a pandemic. Fortunately we have sufficient means (flexible work hours, tons of vacation days, cash for a hotel) that it isn't a big deal for us to drive a thousand miles to get him there or back (we do not think flying is safe) but it is not for the meek. I also advise, OP, that you be less judgmental. You don't know any of these family's stories. Financial, health, like spending time together... Maybe Howard is the dream? Maybe the kid had crones and doesn't want new doctors? Maybe dad is dying. Maybe an extracurricular activity is really that important and it is local. [/quote]
