[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean it’s not hard to guess. If your kid has AirPods, mentions going to Dubai on spring break and Morocco over the summer, has a Fjallraven backpack, etc., I can reasonably assume the parents are fairly well off. Those are the easy ones to guess but there are a decent number of kids who wear old ratty clothes and look like a mess but their parents have tons of money. You wouldn’t necessarily know it to look at them because well to do [b]white kids have the option of looking uncared for as a style choice knowing it won’t reflect on their parents and culture the way it does for minority kids. It’s a lot more subtle with those kids[/b]. [/quote] This is an important point. The flip side is that even when lower middle class AA and Latino kids are visibly well-cared for, some school staff will assume they are low income because they read too much into clothing and hairstyles.[/quote]
