"After attending public school through the eighth grade, I switched to an all-girls private school in Washington, D.C. Going from a class of 500 to a class of 74 was a shock, but the true jolt was adapting to the pure wealth and privilege surrounding me. I consider my family to be very well off, but my peers made me feel like a pauper. Although there are a fair number of students on financial aid at exclusive high schools, the majority of the student body comes from rich, well-connected families."

Absurd. Oblivious and absurd. [/quote]

I don't understand what is absurd about that quote.  It seems accurate to me.[/quote]
As someone who went from MCPS to NCS in 7th grade in the 1980s and then went to a school where a lot of people wanted to go to Dartmouth but didn’t quite have the stats, I had the same exact experience. [/quote]
