[quote=Anonymous]We are applying to a few private schools for our son, who will be in K next year. We can afford one private school tuition (30k +) with making some serious sacrifices in lifestyle (but not skimping on retirement) for one child. The other thread about people's professions at privates seems to suggest there may be a lot of families with inherited wealth or serious other kinds of wealth. I'm curious about those of you who are at these schools receiving aid or making major sacrifices to send your child there. Do you feel surrounded by a huge amount of wealth all the time? Is it uncomfortable? I'm thinking about things like the fact that we live in a modest townhouse, for example, when some others may live in mansions. Do your kids notice? We come from very modest backgrounds so feel very lucky at the life we have been able to create, even if its modest compared to others, and worry about the culture of a school with a ton of wealth.
