[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is the private school. Really think about the values she's learning there. [/quote] We had the exact opposite situation. My kids attended a very wealthy public school pyramid in Arlington and kids were wearing $1,000.00 sneakers and all kinds of high end clothes. They are now in a private Catholic HS in DC and it's been great for my youngest (9th) who got so caught up in coveting and wanting all the excessive things his friends were getting. Having to wear khakis a collared shirt and boat shoes like every singe boy in the school has been the BEST thing ever for us. It also broke him of the greed.[/quote] Oh--and there are some very, very wealthy families at the school but the great equalizer is all of them having to wear the same basic 'approved' attire to school. And HS boys don't wear coats so they aren't coveting those either. lol[/quote]
