[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I crazy for thinking that's crazy? Who would know or care? [/quote]

[b]This is probably very upper middle class of me, but I don't care who rich the other kids are, as long as they don't flaunt it. [/b]I think when people are asking about this during home buying, they are probably looking at schools that are similar academically, but they're trying to get a read on the social situation. Are the wealthy kids show-offs, or are they modest? Do the richest families control the social hierarchy at school? [/quote]

Who cares? It's none of your business what a bunch of kids are doing. [/quote]

That's right, but it's my kids' community. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd make wealth and income disparities a non-issue for them. (And yes, PP, I'm aware that my UMC kids are privileged, too.)[/quote]

It’s part of the diversity of experience. There are going to be people who are a lot richer than you and people who ate a lot poorer. And a bunch of people in between.

If you value diversity, which everyone claims to, then you have to have rich kids too. They’re part of the social makeup of society as much as anyone else.[/quote]
