[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Culture is cultivated, not taught in schools. Likewise, children have to want to cultivate it or it won't really take. [/quote] It is taught in certain schools. I dated a guy from a wealthy family from the NE. He went to private and then boarding schools in the NE. He just knew so many things I had never heard of. He grew up in Manhattan and went to all sorts of cultured events like the ballet, symphonies. His parents were very wealthy and enjoyed the arts. His father was a history buff so he and his dad would read the same bios and autobios and discuss them. He and his mom were interested in landscape gardening and traveling. They sound like they would be snobs but they weren't. Instead of pop culture, they had other interests. They were definitely from old family money. [/quote]
