[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the idea that having your middle class children in school with upper-middle and upper-class children will let them see the potential of what hard work/high income can bring? Not equating the material with happiness, but it opens the eyes to possibilities of deciding where priorities lie and choices the kids make for their future.[/quote] Except it's not their peers who are working hard - it's their parents or even their grandparents who worked hard or have a high income. They only see that their friend Jonny has a new Porsche at 16 and DC only got the family's hand-me-down BMW - so DC must be poor, which is so messed up and so indicative of the U.S. consumer society.[/quote]
