[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is a weird question, teaching your child good manners doesn't have anything to do with class or money. I came from a poor immigrant family and know not to fart at the dinner table...you can enroll your child in some after school activities (which by the way are open to people of all backgrounds/classes), then they'll be fine, make friends, etc. You should work on raising your kid to be a good person, empathetic to others, open to all cultures and not worry about raising an upper middle class kid...[/quote]

2AM PP here.

Again, I did not read the entire thread. And I have had a glass or two of vino. Anyway, my objective response without reading prior opinions may work to an advantage in sharing my personal response to the OP's question. "Good manners" doesn't seem to be the concern from OP; rather, it seemed that OP sought guidance on "Social Etiquette" for a class being transitioned to without prior exposure.

To me, OP is seeking well intentioned input on the social cues necessary to feel comfortable in a class with friends and acquaintances with vast differences, but not allowing it to impede upon future opportunities for cohesive elevation. To put it Frank-ly (or Francine-like, if you prefer), OP does not want to stick out like a sore thumb, work in vain, and limit opportunities for her growing children to continue to push through (generational) glass ceilings.
