[quote=Anonymous]This thread is purely a class argument:  Middle (TJ parenst/alums and those who dont get Boarding School) and Upper (the pro Boarding school and private school) folks.  That is pretty par for the course on DCUM.

20+ years ago both groups existed but they were just completely unaware of each other as they didnt cross paths in normal life.  Our world has become smaller partly due to increased population and more largely due to the ubiquity of the Internet  We have a window into others lives (those of a different class who make very different choices that we do) but most of us dont understand why everyone doesnt make the same choices we do.  One of the most enduring class barriers, access to each other, is breaking down and you see it most clearly on Internet threads like this one.  People who post on here with such widely disparate experiences rarely cross paths IRL and don't have much in common on a daily basis.

Basically, it all comes down to the classic, "If you don't get IT, you don't get it."  In others words, it doesnt really matter because we all make our choices based on our own life experience and family background.  Those choices are usually the right ones for our families and life goes on.[/quote]
