[quote=Anonymous]I grew up on the Upper East Side, went to private school, etc... We were poor relative to most of my classmates but I still grew up very well off and surrounded by tremendous wealth. But, I walked around the streets of NYC and took public transportation to and from school as well as to get around and when you do this, it’s pretty clear that most of the people you are amidst are different from you. Socio economic and racial differences are in your face and it made me realize at a pretty young age that I had it pretty good. Living in a high income suburb and never exposing your kids to the grittiness of life will definite skew their sense of normalcy. But get your kids out in the city or even in rural areas and let the, see that there are many ways of living. And one is not necessarily superior to another.[/quote]
