[quote=Anonymous]I went to a NOVA public school, but most of my friends/boyfriend in college went to private school and I married into a family where private school is the norm. I’m aware of this “code” of which you speak, but am extremely wary of the extent to which my own kids are exposed to it. Yes, private school kids tend to have more polish on the surface, but there’s often no appreciable difference in substance underneath to support their over abundance of confidence. It’s like they’ve been taught from an early age that their knowledge, opinions and experiences are worth more than others’ just because their schooling cost more. Just not terribly impressive when you get up close, unless you really care about stuff like where people vacation or who their great-great-grandfather was. (But it sounds like maybe you do.)[/quote]
