[quote=Anonymous]We are a big donor family so it was really interesting to see what happened when a kid from another family known as a big prospect (but not current big donor) engaged in a long campaign of bullying my child. The bully kid is one of 4 kids and has several cousins at the school. The school definitely did a calculation of (tuition per year * child)+future possible donation when working through disciplinary action. We’ve also noticed that families with siblings are much more likely to repeatedly get the “good” teachers year after year. Most rely on tuition for their operating budgets so it makes sense, but was still a bit surprising to see it play out, especially as the parent of an only child in a cohort with many younger siblings. So I would say it’s not just about being a big donor but also that longevity at the school and full-pay relatives is another financial factor that dictates how students are treated. [/quote]
