[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only think of one family getting grandparent assistance in my kid’s classes.  Lots of very successful parents.  [/quote]

You have to be about the scariest person on here.  Are you madly googling everyone's financials? 
Do yo have access to some development software?
Seriously---this is insane.

My guess is the person knows what people do. I live outside of NYC and the vast majority of people at my kids’ private school work in big law or in PE or at hedge funds. There is a ton of generational wealth, so grandparents probably do contribute to kids’ educational costs - but it’s not like many families need it. And you find out what people do through all of the crazy school activities. There are a ton of social events.[/quote]

But, again, it requires some serious stalking to figure out what all the parents in your kid’s class do for a living.  Other than some (and not even all) of the parents of my kid’s actual friends, I have no idea.  It’s not like I’m searching out their Linked in profiles.

If parents are actually going to great lengths to figure out what their kid’s classmates’ parents do for a living that’s a huge knock against private schools.  Who wants to be in an environment with parents like that?  Gross. [/quote]
