[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a common complaint made in novels written by former Ivy Leaguers. So the perception that true middle class kids struggle a bit socially when surrounded by many with extreme wealth must have some basis in reality.[/quote] Not necessarily an income thing, more-so a geographic & feeder school thing. I mean who's going to have the social advantage: A kid from a school that sends maybe 1-2 a year to Harvard or the kids that attend some Silicon Valley public or NE boarding school that sends dozens of kids every year while also running in circles with kids at other feeders? And there's also something to be said about the savviness of these kids from feeders -- they know how to hit the ground running, ex. join the competitive clubs and then run the clubs.[/quote]
