[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird but true:

There are tons of rich people in this area with really smart kids who can afford to pay $40k for several kids at the school. [/quote]

Or there are tons of rich people who can afford to pay $40k and more spots are available because so many of the really smart kids go to public.[/quote]

What does this even mean in the context of Sidwell?  Rich people don't have smart kids in some cases?  Sidwell doesn't have smart kids?  Some other agenda going on?[/quote]

There are a handful of people who can afford full freight tuition.  If that handful, a percentage of them are smart.  A percentage of them are smart.  The school HAS to fill a certain number of spots with full tuition payers for their financials to work.  I guess the percentage of rich people who are also smart varies from year to year.  In a place like D.C., it may be as high as 100% some years, but I would wager it doesn't. In order for the school to exist, they need to accept students who can pay full price.

I don't think you're  looking at the full picture.  Take the time, is to provide extraordinary tuition payment for their employees. And then the World Bank, which, if you joined up before the late 90s, still provides extraordinary benefits that allow families to be full pay. Lots of full pay, smart kids, and lots of diversity.  And have you checked out law firms?  First generation wealth making $1-2 million per years looking to ensure their. Hildten's acafemic succeed (after all, that's how the law partner parents succeeded, unlike some business oriented parents.  Don't know why you think this is a small group of people.  It's very big in DC.  More than enough to float multiple top schools, all with highly academic kids.  [/quote]

Yep, a few times over.[/quote]
