[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:53, I'm not going to try to argue with you point by point.  I gave you a long list of expense categories and you appear to reject it in total.  I wouldn't say I'm naive -- I happen to think the area independents have too many FTE positions that are not crucial to their core missions -- but I do listen, ask questions, and pay attention to the answers.

Your contention that schools in this area have $40 million in gross revenue or routinely raise $10-$20 million a year is just silly, honestly, as is your insistence that the average independent school has something like 900-1000 students.  The bigger K-12s may be in that range (Sidwell, GDS), but many schools are closer to 500 (St. Albans, NCS, Georgetown Prep, Georgetown Visitation, St. Andrews) and quite a few others (such as Landon, Holton, Bullis, Maret) are between 600-650 students.

I don't disagree with the bottom line point that tuition costs are too high and have to be[b] corralled, and that schools need to make hard choices to do that, but your "40 million a year in revenue" language will make it impossible for anyone to ever take YOU, specifically, seriously[/b].

LOL. you prove by your need to repost each time I do, that you , in fact, take this information being posted VERY seriously. It is accurate and you know it.

Is your only come back to falsify the facts until you are called out and to engage in ad hominem attacks. You are just bringing MORE attention to the issue.[/quote]
