[quote=Anonymous]A family that fits in -- it's not as loaded as you all would like it to be. It simply means that when you throw in families who are poor with parents who typically aren't college educated professionals with uber wealthy people their is a serious disconnect. When you throw middle class professionals into the mix they more are likely to fit in with both spectrums. Chances are they grew up poor so will be able to connect to families are poor. On the other hand they are educated, so though not wealthy will have some things in common with the uber wealthy. Families like this are a better fit. Families like this, though not rich have a plethora of other things to contribute to the community. While the uber wealthy love the idea of "helping" the poor they don't want to spend time socializing with them. As for the poor, I imagine the same can be said. No one wants to spend time socializing with a bunch of people that they suspect are looking down on them. While some in the middle class will also suffer from this, generally speaking they are better able to handle being in environments with the highly accomplished.

The term was not meant to disparage anyway. Nonetheless, realistically speaking not all families are going to be a good fit for the private school environment.

As for traveling, do you really think private schools want to educate children on the world and not expect them to go out and experience it. That defies logic and common sense. It would be counterproductive to educate on world history and then suggest well since you can't afford our full price tag, you better not go further than Florida to vacation.[/quote]
