[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]"Mini-tuition". This is public school. The tuition you pay is property taxes. [/b]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]

You must be new around here.
