[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney parent here.  I see the support fee as a mini-tuition to provide some perks for my local community.  I do not try to compare this to our family's other charitable giving.

We all make different choices in life, OP.  I could argue that, if you want to live a life of charity, you shouldn't live in 20016 and should instead live in a small apartment and give away most of your wealth.  That would allow you to donate another $50K per year.  You could also quit your high-paying job and volunteer your time.

OP, you haven't made either of these choices.  You have instead chosen to make a stand on the student support fee.  Congratulations!   That additional $500 that you may or may not give to charity is going to make a real difference![/quote]

"Mini-tuition". This is public school. The tuition you pay is property taxes. Which, since you DO live in 20016, are pretty damn high. Call it whatever you want, but the notion that a family should be OBLIGATED to pay a single penny at public school is offensive. [/quote]
