<p>SevenDad, you do realize, don’t you, that lots of kids who are full pay can’t afford or don’t have the lifestyle of skiing in Gstaad, right? What you’d really want to know – but of course these stats don’t exist – is how many uber wealthy kids there are at any given school. It’s not like every school is Rockefellers vs. kids on financial aid. There’s probably very litle difference socioeconomically between a kid who’s getting some FA and a kid just on the other side of that FA divide. For lots of full pay families, sending a kid or two to boarding school is every bit as much a financial hardship as it is for families receiving some FA. I know you were probably speaking tongue in cheek to some extent, but I do think that some people on here think that all full pay families must be uber wealth and snobby to go along with it.</p>
