[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I was treated differently for sure. Graduated in 1985 and had all kinds of comments from teachers and guidance counselors, (and my parents), trying to set my sights lower. Now I'm an attorney with an upper middle class income, and I'm amazed how much differently people treat my son. My husband insisted on private school. I was fine with public. But I can see social advantages that my son is getting. Not sure if they are worth the tuition, but it's fascinating to watch. David Brooks' book, The Social Animal, explores this in great detail. As does the book Unequal Childhoods. Very sad. Education is supposed to be the greats equalizer.[/quote]
