[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a middle class family. My husband did not go to college but started a technology shop which did well enough to let us send our academically gifted ds to private school starting middle school. We were happy and eager to give our child opportunities we never had. Our son hated his private middle school and fell into a deep depression. He also would not befriend the well rounded UMC or UC kids in his class and gravitate towards the misfits and less well adjusted kids. I tried to guide him but to no avail.

One summer he also started dating a girl from a trailer park when we were vacationing in NC.

This streak has stuck throughout college. He is currently attending a private college with lots of rich goods from rich families. It’s silly to say but part of the reason we wanted to give him the experience was so he could mingle with and befriend kids from upper classes and get an upper hand in life.
It doesn’t exactly work if he chooses to befriend the misfit and loser kids.

First world problem, I know. [b]We may as well have sent him to a random public school![/b] [/quote]

You may as well have sent him.  And then just think of all the Teslas you could have bought from the savings.

Oh well.  [/quote]
