[quote=Anonymous]I went to a private school and from the perspective a student we could easily tell who had more money and who was on a lot of financial aid. You see things like the cars dropping the kids off, the clothing, the numbers of expensive labels (North Face was all the rage so having not one but multiple ones marked you out as more affluent), and references to vacations. Most of us were more similar than not, in the "middle" with slight gradations either way, but some did stand out. This was pre-phones as I graduated in the 1990s. I would also say it generally didn't make much of a difference at my school. We were all friends regardless of family incomes. I'd be quite surprised if teachers didn't notice income disparities. But I don't think the teachers would care, would they? If anything they'd be more likely to be sympathetic to the lower income students, methinks. [/quote]
