[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a middle class family with kids on heavy financial aid at a private school. I worry about this a lot. My kids are very aware that people have more than them. It's in their face every day! And while they have opportunities to see that people have less, I still worry that their perspective is skewed. [/quote] That was us but we scrimped for parochial, not private. I did my best to open the bubble for my kids. Oldests went to colleges with predominantly blue collar family kids who were scraping together tuition. That’s when they realized that they’d always seen themselves as the “poorest” in their friend groups but it was privileged compared to their new friends. Neither came back to our DC suburb after college and I’m happy for that. They live in a world that’s more representative of the country.[/quote]
