[quote=Anonymous]Basically if you're throwing down 30-40k on private school there's major dissonance reduction to be done. Hence the private evangelizing. This was the case when I was in private school. We were constantly told by my parents and friends' parents how much better off we were. It created some arguments and bad blood between kids in our neighborhood (and by extension parents) for no good reason.

The same is true of public school folks who spend an extra 33% to live in a slightly better school district. Out minimizing  dissonance by evangelizing everyone on why their district is soooo much better.

Or, organic farm-to-fork food. We're all dying if we're eating factory farm food.

Some people don't need organic family farms, some people  don't need the best public schools, and some people don't need private school.

It's not about income... I drive a very very fast luxury car that was quite expensive because it gets my blood pumping. I have colleagues at work who make the same money and drive toyota camry. I would  never think they are below me or made a worse decision. THey simply made the decision that was right for them and/or their family.[/quote]
