One thing I dislike about FA is that going to a private is very much a stretch for people on FA, and year to year they may not be back. They create a level of churn in the student body that in just not there in the full pay kids. That churn creates problems of its own - pretty steady influx of new students, activities and sports teams with holes from departed students, etc. It would be better to provide multiyear FA grants, although I can see problems that that would create as well.

Why can't any aid people do it instead of all this passive aggressive behavior?

Agree. Though my guess is that most anti-aid people are not the big contributors. I doubt those people have time or the care to log into DCUM and post anti-aid comments. The few who talk about not donating next year are more than likely the ones who can barely afford to donate but do so trying to keep up with Jones -- thus their resentment. Perhaps they should try and be true to their checkbook.

So you are on FA and resentful of the people who donate to the annual campaign when they really cannot afford to? Wow.

The more you try to escape the poor, the more you become intertwined with them- like b'rer rabbit the tar baby.

I'd love to know which school your kids attend. We pay $70,000 to try to give our kids the best education we can and to avoid people who would teach them 'poor habits' like your condescension and anything related to the term tar baby, for example.

Is it possible that you don't understand the "tar baby" concept and are offended by the term (because you don't understand its usage)?"

LOL. Of course she doesn't. She's a very earnest and attractive, but unintelligent SAh living off her successful husband in her little limo lib world. She can't understand why someone would object to paying for other people's kids to go to private school. Of course, she personally has never done that.

First off, its pretty clear this post was straight up troll. Amazing that it actually worked on some of you.

Second, interesting to see the Trumpsters come buzzing by from the Politics forum with the "limo lib" reference. Time to get the handi-vacuum to get those cheeto crumbs out of your bathrobe now.

It depends. It's just not HHI. They look at all of your assets and liabilities.

What kind of HHI do you need to typically qualify for FA?

How many times do I have to say it does not? I don't understand what that isn't clear. Maybe the school your DC attends did/does, my DC's school did not.

Just send your kids to a for profit school. Problem solved.
