  @Texasgranny:

  NO ONE works at George School because of the salary. They don’t get paid anywhere near what their public school counterparts do.

  @ RIGHTHINKING1:

  That’s only true for about the richest 20% of students there.

  RE: GS_KID’s assertion that “20% of George School students receive financial aid”:

  This figure is actually inaccurate. 20% of George School students receive financial aid from the school’s endowment/aid budget. MANY more students (probably twice that figure) receive financial aid from external aid programs, their own religious communities, etc. I think the average reader of this article has the wrong idea about what the average George School student looks like.

  I attended George School throughout high school. My time there actually made me more conservative, because the study of history and the economy at GS does not center on a liberal perspective, and instead provides information so that students can draw their own subjective conclusions.

  Someone above me in the comments thread said that we all use cars which run on gas to get to school. I’d just like to interject that the majority of my teachers at George School live on campus, as do almost half of all students (myself included, when I attended).

  And before you condemn Barb Kibler, who is by all accounts an eccentric person, allow me to say that for years she has dedicated her energies to volunteer work. I have volunteered with her in the past, and know her to be good and kind. Her creative freedom as dance teacher afforded her the opportunity to make this show, which I think is somewhat inappropriate. But you don’t know George School, and from the sound of it, you also don’t know the Quaker way. Hatre
