[quote=Anonymous]While we are on the topic of social class and educational institutions, communal values, and social mobility: Let's say you know an L family or a lower-rung G family who value education. Financially, there are some constraints on their choices, and culturally they are not "elite" G or E. They can't decide if they should send their child to an independent school or move into a well-regarded public school. They have money for tuition or better real estate, but not both choices. Absent any other factor (such as nickles-and-dimes cost comparison), what do you tell them to do? Why? DH and I debate this question off and on, focusing a lot on "fitting in"/inclusion as well as the value of learning social rules outside of the ones your family knows. [/quote]
