[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the reasons why Gs are always trying to get their kids into the best school districts? Is it mainly the 'better' peer group? If so, what is the 'better' peer group? kids whose parents are professionals? [/quote] I don't think it's getting into the right crowd as much as it is avoiding slipping down to an L. What I'm gathering from this whole thread is that the biggest jumps up and down happen between generations for the most part. At 32, I'm a G and inalways will be. So is dh. Dh's brother is an L and always will be. Give us more or less money and we just move up and down our own ladders. BUT the kids have the most opportunity for movement, whether up or down (or the same). Their life experiences (first education, other life exp, then relationships) will place them in ladder, and they will mostly stay in that ladder. So education can be a huge factor, and Gs (and Es from a social perspective) know it. [/quote]
