[quote=Anonymous]First, life is not fair. There are always people who get some perk or whatever that you don’t even if you “deserve” it. This line of thinking will make you insane so just stop.

Second, schools ability to offer financial aid to families varies from year to year and from school to school. There is no simple or singular equation here. And it’s very different than the calculus that happens for college.

Third, there’s no way for you to really know someone else’s circumstances. We know quite a few people who send their kids to private school, but could not afford to do so without significant help from grandparents. They live in nice houses but a year over year commitment especially if more than one kid is a lot. Life in this area is expensive. Houses are $$$ but that doesn’t mean income is there.

Are there people who grift and low ball self reported/self employed income? Yes, I’m sure there are. But I think the gray area for who gets FA and who doesn’t is pretty big. [/quote]
