[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are confusing gratitude with being beholden to anyone. I am grateful and thankful to the school and to everyone who so graciously donates. What I am not is beholden to any arrogant idiot who believes their wealth gives them the right to fill superior to others or talk down to someone else. So no that poster will never get an apology from me. Not today, not ever. If that seems cold, maybe you should ask yourself why that posters attitude towards FA recipients is not cold. [/quote]

You ARE beholden to those who pay full tuition, they do something nice for you, whether you acknowledge it or not.  They pay some percentage of your kid's education.  Whether or not you CHOOSE to be grateful for that gift is your prerogative. Where would your kid be going to school without the gift that rich ass-hat gave it to you.  What does it make you?  You wanted a really expensive school for your kid, one you didn't need (school is free in this country, even for those with special needs), and a group of people (major donors) made it possible for you.  However generous and kind (or not) the donor may be, if they ask to be acknowledged or not, you are in fact beholden to them (at least For the percentage of FA you receive) for the education of your children.[/quote]
