[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]

My kids went through/are in a private Catholic HS (small in Maryland) and it didn't do much to break them of wanting the expensive popular clothing and shoes.  I guess at least they didn't want the same quantities since they only have an out-of-uniform day every once in a while, but my DD still wants those ridiculous Golden Goose shoes (not happening), and my son still wanted whatever was popular when he was in HS.[/quote]
