[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids can move in any circle. They have been around it all. From poverty kids/foster care, middle class to the kind that have a private jet. Going to public school and then private HS and being around some of their parents friends who made ridiculous $ the past 30 years. The thing is- they don’t care whether someone has $ or not—it’s always been the person. They were raised to value the person. There are a—holes and douches and good, genuine people at every price point. Some of the richest people I know are also some of the most unassuming. You wouldn’t immediately guess it.

My firstborn is at an Ivy- and he had a pretty diverse group of friends. It’s not $ based. [/quote]

Students from high socioeconomic households are significantly overrepresented at ivy League private colleges.   It's a  privileged environment even if it does have some level of  students from lower or mid economic HHs.   There are loads of  friendships born of privilege even if your child is not part of that.[/quote]
