<p>If anything @Dietz, a “larger and larger” portion of the full pays are going to be pulled from pools of more ultra wealthy and well connected families given how many formerly “comfortable” families have been hit by the economy — THAT is the real tragedy of the current state of the make up of kids going to private schools. I for one will be curious to see what happens in the next ten years or so. The current crop of limos and private plane parents arent coming from the “usual” type of BS or private school families so it will be interesting to see how they will continue to donate once their kid is out of school. I assume that that is the reason for the Times article, as well.</p>
