[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most dangerous thing about this kind of speculation and gossip about FA recipients is the effect that parents' attitudes can have on their children. Are parents aware that their prejudiced views and attitudes can ride on the backs of their children into the school and poison the community there? There are parents at my son's private school who openly and contemptuously refer to an FA recipient as a "scholarship kid" and imply that such a student is less entitled than a full-paying student. When their children hear such remarks, of course it changes how they think about their classmates that receive FA.

Come on, parents, model the caring for and tolerance of others that you would have your own children exhibit. [/quote]

OMG.  Get real.  There are kids on financial aid who BRAG about and then go on private and school sponsored travel junkets/vacations.   And what IS a jun ket?   School trips to foreign countries.   Many others don't go because they have to pay full tuition, books, fees.   Vacations for the full family [in hotels/resorts]  2 weeks in the Bahamas or similar locations.    It is tiresome.
