A lot of teachers are like you described, and sometimes they make good teachers being parents who can relate to kids that age.

I know several teachers who teach at privates who send their kids to public and one is clear she's not a fan of the school environment and wouldn't put her kids in it. To me that is pretty telling. I think kids should go for free.


My kids go to the school where I teach and I profoundly regret that decision. My kids are doing well and are happy, but I'm very unhappy with my job (I'm in a different division than they are) and I desperately want to leave, but I feel stuck. The public school where we live is not strong and my kids have friends at the current school. I haven't been able to figure out an exit strategy that wouldn't uproot the kids.


That is a huge issue, but that is about you/your not being happy and not the point. If you want to leave, leave. You can pay for another private or pay for this private and take a job elsewhere.


Uh, thanks. It's not quite that simple, but your condescension is duly noted.

It also seems like if you are a teacher who has their own school-aged children- which I'm guessing a good chunk of teachers in this area do- it would be CRAZY not to apply to teach at one of these schools. Okay, maybe not crazy, but there is a ton of motivation if you are already an educator and have kids to have your salary effectively supplemented in this manner... it seems like there would be a ton of applicants for every job.

NCS does not offer 50% remission. The school removes the teaching parent's salary from the financials when they are deciding financial aid amounts. If faculty members with daughters are single or married to someone who has little to no income, then their daughters will receive a good package. Those married to spouses with a high HHI will not.

I don’t know about “top” teachers, but there is a trend of “I have rich parents” teaches at most schools.


Exactly. And/or my spouse is an investment banker (or whatever).

If this is true, that Beauvoir teachers get 100% remission, then I know a Beauvoir teacher who is bilking her family
For “tuition.” Don’t know who is telling the truth, online forum or unreliable friend?

I'm at a private in the area, and our numbers change based on longevity. So, if you been there 0 - 2 years you get nothing, then 3 - 5 a little, then . . . Up until 10 it caps out at like 50%?

Not sure. I teach at a single sex school, and my kids are the opposite sex so clearly the tuition discount isn't what lured me there.
