[quote=Anonymous]It's important to me that my kids understand that they have privilege and they need to acknowledge that privilege. IF truly wanted to breakdown barriers and lift up others, I would have made different choices about where to live and where to send them to school - I didn't do that because I'm optimizing for my kids. I'm raising my kids to be generous and kind but that's not the same thing as sending them to a public school where they would be minorities in class or race. I think OP that you can't have it both ways - you've made a set of choices to reinforce your kids socio economic privilege and you can do things on the margin so they feel compassion for others, but they aren't going to "get it" in the way they would if you actually made different choices. This isn't a criticism btw, just a reality. It's also important that my kids know that my money isn't their money so they will need to go earn their own. [/quote]
