[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Pat's is incredibly wealthy to the point where even though most don't try to flaunt their wealth, it's just unavoidable. But, for the most part, people are fairly low-key.

As far as social climbing, I honestly have no idea what people are talking about. Lots of families there are already fairly established. I admit there are a few, but the rest seem fairly secure.

Aside from the usual parents on the infamous Dexter St and that surrounding neighborhood, the rest of the parents are friendly enough. I am of color and UMC parent, I never had too many problems. The worse was that I was mistaken as a cook, but that family is known to be terrible and luckily my daughter has moved on to other friends.

I have gotten that from white people that are well below my class level and I don't assume that the parents at St. Pat's are immune to it. [/quote]

Who are the "infamous Dexter St." parents.  [/quote]

More accurately, that street, Wesley Heights and Berkeley. They intentionally tend to try to stay segregated from the other parents -especially duel incomers. They literally talk about it in the open with each other. Even parents from other schools, know their reputation. I never seen so many terrible people congregate via real estate.

It's not the country club parents that you have to watch out for, it's those that live around each other. They are the ones that will have a birthday party at 3:00pm on a weekday. They know parents that work can't attend, so it's their way to segregate themselves from the workers. I would never judge someone for what they have or don't have. What does matter, however, is your character and that place is a black hole. [/quote]
