[quote=Anonymous]To answer the question in the subject line, no I don’t especially care that DS is well-versed in the lives of the less fortunate. Growing up in the District he certainly had regular contact with kids who have less. He went to DPR camps, RCP camps, DPR swimming etc But no, it’s not important to me that he did, or does continuously acknowledge his privilege. It’s much more important to me that he didn’t grow up to be a helpless, sheltered schmuck who doesn’t know how to change a lightbulb, because we could always afford to pay someone else to change our lightbulbs. That’s the thing that I can’t tolerate among the kids in my crowd. So many have learned helplessness and are fairly useless young adults. So many of them are not mentally tough. — parent of a private school kid k-12 in the 1%[/quote]
