I work with poverty stricken kids and I'm sure they'd at least like the option. It's much more "inhumane" to continue to fake some false piety with no practical solution.

I think that would be excellent. The more we can insulate students and parents from poverty the better the results. I'm not sure if it's entirely kosher to say this, but I think people don't consider boarding school enough as an option to educate lower-income students.
