[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another single mom here—didn’t prep b/c I didn’t know about the test, but I would have if I’d known. That being said, it doesn’t matter either way. Wealthy, educated families are have such an extraordinary advantage that one little workbook isn’t going to make a whit of difference. Asians are the only group who have managed to break out thanks to cultural norms that emphasize education above all else. Good luck.[/quote]

Giftedness and emphasis on academics and education are a middle class value, not a wealthy family value.[/quote]

Why is that?[/quote]

Because education is one way to gaining wealth and improve your families status. Wealthy families tend to need to protect their wealth and increase it, which is a different game than building wealth. You can hire the right people to manage your moeny, you are not able to hire the people to build wealth. [/quote]

Wrong. I’m wealthy and I highly value education for my kids. Why? Because THEY are not wealthy and if they are waiting around for an inheritance, they won’t get one. They need to become educated, work and be productive members of society. [/quote]

That's middle class thinking. [/quote]
