Also - as a non-profit, aren't they exempt from property tax?

Enjoy your subsidies rich families. You deserve it !!!
Over 11 pages now you continue to display why you would not be a good fit for an elite private school, the only thing I don’t understand is why you continue to demand acceptance into schools you don’t think should exist. Please move on.
We can do whatever we want because we don’t receive federal grants except for the millions in subsidies. Enjoy ! You totally deserve it !
Your sarcasm comes off as bitter and further makes the point that your family would not be a good fit in our community. I don’t know why you desperately want to gain admissions to schools you think should be eliminated. These schools will continue to exist to educate the elite long after we’re gone.
I have yet to develop the skill to receive government subsidies and be proud of not being dependent of the government.
You have yet to develop the reasoning skills my children learned in middle school. They go to a private school that doesn’t pay taxes because it legally doesn’t owe them, and this somehow makes them dependent on the government whereas the alternative is an entirely government funded public school.
You are far afield from your original point about transparency in private school admissions. You haven’t made any reasonable arguments but have revealed a puerile and angry insistence to fundamentally misunderstand private education. Someone could provide you all the data in the world and I don’t think you would get it, this is just not for you.
So tell me one thing. Do you think it’s ok to subsidize schools for rich families? It’s a simple question. Maybe a bit hard for you to understand . Perhaps you can ask your kid, and he will be able to answer.
I think rich kids could go to a fully subsidized government funded public school for free and instead some of them choose to spend lots of money at a private school, which is tax exempt based on the tax code. I’m increasingly relieved that you and your friends have not been accepted to our schools.
Oh wow, such a profound insight. I'm truly thrilled you managed to put that into words.

I am sorry. I should send my kids to sidwell so they learn to take 5 million dollar in government funds and say that is ethically correct. Quaker values!

I’ve come to appreciate your signature space before the exclamation point, very unique.
Very goods skills. How to use exclamation points and how to raise children in expensive schools with government subsidies. Now I can sleep peacefully tonight.

No income taxes and no taxes on the endowments.
The taxes the you and I normally pay.
Check propublica to understand how corrupt the system is.

The only nonsensical thing is all the subsidies to rich private schools.

Check propublica website how much money your school is saving because of the corrupt tax system for rich schools. Just type the name of your school.

What subsidies is anyone referring to? The tax deductibility of donations used to provide financial aid?
