[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's were on the lower end of the spectrum for: family importance, "right" clubs, "right" neighborhoods, historical belonging to the group. Inequitable treatment in one case by the school. Both were a huge mistake and there was social stigma. [/quote] You have just mirrored my DCs experience at a Big 3. Fortunately, senior year is on the horizon. I don't care what anyone says some teachers assume or are given privy to your DC's FA status. Their perception of a child's family background, unfortunately, will impact equitable treatment and expectations. Children are highly sensitive to feeling less than in these environments, some will suck it up and successfully make it through and others will internalize it and underachieve. [/quote]
