Us as well.

And from what I can tell, at least one third of our school...[/quote]

Two words: white privilege. The truth is most minority families can’t rely on mommy and daddy’s money to attend private school. [/quote]

The phrase "white privilege" is growing old already.  It doesn't explain everything in life.  You really need to target your anger on Bezos, Zuckerberg, Buffet, and Dimon, etc.  You're attacking people of roughly the same class as you because they are doing slightly better financially and making different choices than you.  Redirect your anger elsewhere.

Yes, my son's mommy and daddy are paying for his LS.  He's under 10 y/o - difficult to be self-made at that age.  And before you start about my being born w a silver spoon in my mouth - think again.  I was a latchkey kid of a single mom who attending junior college while I was in upper ES and MS and finished her BS while I was in HS. She went to law school when I went to college.  I watched her bust her arse and tried to work even hard than she did.  Took FA loans, the whole bit, and somehow overcame the odds  with some luck, some mentoring, and some hard work.  So go away with the privilege argument.  It's stale.[/quote]

"Roughly the same class as you" lol honey $200k or $400k or $1m is absolutely not the same class as someone making the median area income or below.[/quote]

Do you know either of the posters' incomes? Why would you assume that the poster being replied to is making the median income while the responder is making up to a million? I'm assuming most people posting on a private school board tend to be somewhere above the median and middle to upper middle class just based on where they are going to school. You are making a lot of assumptions about posters based on basically nothing.

And totally agree that the "white privilege" argument is getting stale. Obviously having grandparents that can afford to pay for private school is extremely privileged no matter someone's race, but boiling basically everything down to "white privilege" or shutting down all arguments with the phrase "showing your privilege" is extremely shallow.[/quote]
