[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuition is far too low. Elite colleges should use their position of power to act as private taxing authorities, charging 5-10% of family wealth (total for whole degree) for all students.

They don't have to.  The rich students already pay for the less rich students. But in this area, the parents in the $1m+ houses want everything for free. [/quote]

No one has argued that MC/UMC tuition should be "free". You're just making sh-- up now. They are saying it should at least be accessible.

And FTR, we are absolutely priced out of those schools -my child is turning one down for that reason, which is extremely painful- and we do not live in a million dollar house. We bought our starter for about $300K and stayed in it (didn't trade up). [/quote]

DP what do you want the price to be? what are you willing to pay?

Something reasonably attainable for MC families. Sorry, I'm not giving a number. But something that allows people to "stretch" if they want to do so w/o making it prohibitively expensive. There's a difference between $50K, which is already quite high, and $80-90K/year.

But you already know this so why are you being obtuse?[/quote]
