[quote=Anonymous][quote] If you raise your children to be well-mannered, well versed in social graces, and well educated-- it will not matter what school they attended or extracurricular programs they were able to participate in. Money is not the source of class or social graces--it may help but is not the end all. [/quote]

I thought what 15:05 wrote was lovely.  She is from a privildged and proper background and is taking responsibility for raising well-mannered unspoiled children.  Being a "deb" is not outdated nor is it an "aping" of British society just because one author says so.  It is still a tradition in some echelons of American society as well and, when I was growing up in the 80s, it was still a season, and not just one dance.  I bet it actually still is.

I say, let people make their own choices as long as they are not harming or being rude/nasty/dismissive of others.  These "finishing" organizations are for those who want to be in them and care about such things.  If you find them repulsive, then just ignor them.  If you want your child to participate, but are not invited, ask a friend who is, for a letter of recommendation.  I bet she will oblige.
