[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is about what kind of people the wealthy people are. We have two children both in classes with wealthy families. However one class is about 25 percent Chevy Club parents and the other only has a few families. The class with the large Chevy club families is very divided. In fact one mom hosts events often just for the kids that belong there. So I think it depends on how they spend their time and whatnot and not just that they are wealthy. [/quote]

Maybe they just don't want embarass folks who they presume are not able to afford it, and that they [i]will[/i] invite folks who they know from past experience can afford it.[/quote]

This is what is the problem. Who is putting kids and families into categories of "rich" or "in crowd?" If you join a community that states that inclusivity is part of the schools motto, as the Cathedral schools have clearly stated in their mission statement, then you should either look at the community as a whole and not divide them into groups and act accordingly. The students do this but the parents should and could be reminded of these values on a daily basis and it should be part of the admission process. I think that is why more families from different schools are being admitted now over other schools. They follow these values. We are very wealthy but have friends who are all different levels of wealth and we don't care. We have them for dinner or go to their house for dinner or meet out. We find common activities that we can do. Our kids see this and it sets a good example that we are all part of the same community. I wish more of our wealthy friends did this. [/quote]
