[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's a reflection of people's feeling that the pie is shrinking, and if your child doesn't have the right credentials, your child won't get a piece.[/quote] But, it's society's perception of how much of that pie is enough issue. It's not enough these days, especially in this area, to live in a modest home, drive a modest car, don't take flying vacations and not own a table/smart phone/2 or 3 flat screens. It's the "keeping up with Joneses" mentality that makes people feel this way.[/quote] Except that the pie actually is shrinking. A lot of people who used to be securely in the middle class (in their modest homes, with their modest cars) are holding on by the fingernails, or have fallen out of it altogether. Understandably, people don't want that insecurity for their children.[/quote]
