The anger that you often see on this board is that after paying $30,000 + for our own DCs to get an education we are then asked to pay more for your children.

Unless your child scored none wrong on the ERB, pipe down. Your school is only giving FA to bright kids and is only doing it so that their test scores will make the rest of the school look good. No one is being &quot;given&quot; any thing. It is the brain power of these bright kids that earns your school its reputation, maintains its reputation and, later largely establishes the intellectual environment in which your child will be educated. My DC gets a lot of aid and spends most of his class time graciously helping his classmates who &quot; don't understand&quot;.[/quote]

You mistakenly believe that the only bright kids are the financial aid kids.  Sorry full freight here and my kid scored pretty damn close to perfect on the ERBs.  Don't for a minute fool yourself in thinking that the kids whose parents pay their way are not also pulling their own intellectual weight.  [b]&lt;-- Ditto[/b]
