[quote=Anonymous]NP here. In a way, sending our DC to a private school has been educational for her in terms of her sense of her own privilege. We are not as weathy as most of families she comes into contact with. At our public, we are probably standard. The houses in our neighborhood are similar, and she "expected" certain things about the homes, what they looked like, what the kids had for entertainment, etc. At private, she has noticed that she has somewhat less than her friends, and that her house is smaller. In some cases, MUCH smaller. This has given her some perspective, and given her an awareness about the larger world, and where she exists in it -- in the DC area, the US, and the globe. She's started asking about her standard of living versus the friends, versus others in the area, versus others in other places, etc. Her curiosity in this respect has been piqued. I think this is a good thing.[/quote]
