Raising a Native New Yorker

This is my blog about working and raising a child in New York, specifically on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. My intent is to speak frankly about motherhood and city life and the conflicts therein.

A word about fundraising for private schools

I really do not get how a school that charges more than $30,000 a year for tuition cannot meet their operating costs.  Why not either increase tuition to fill the $2000 per student gap, or decrease costs?  What is the real motivation behind the Annual Fund and the yearly fundraising?  Is it because they will always get more money that way?  Is it because the mothers want the sense of responsibility and the social outlet that being part of a fundraising committee gets them?  Can someone explain this to me?
