[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8th grader at a nice public, who is still basically a sweet little kid, gets excited about band practice and interesting math problems and knows nothing about stanleys, lululemons, or in fact, much of current pop culture.  I appreciate the missives from this parallel universe, even if they are skewed by highly personal experiences.[/quote]

I have a 7th grader at a nice D2 middle school, but she was at a Hill private for part of last year (didn't work out, there was lots of bullying), and while I agree with you completely about the "sweet little kid" piece, she actually says that culture-wise the public school kids are much more sophisticated than the private school ones. The private school kids were all into Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter and whatnot, while the public school kids listen to obscure K-Pop bands (and were doing that last year before the movie) and play interesting video games and go to theater/concerts regularly and eat unusual food and visit family in obscure places and generally seem to have much more diverse tastes than the relatively sheltered private school kids did.

(the problem with owning a ski cabin and a place in the Hamptons is that you spend too many of your vacations and long weekends at the ski cabin and the place in the Hamptons and both of those are cultural deserts)[/quote]
Oh there's a lot of cultural awareness, just not the pop-/trending stuff.
