[quote=Anonymous]If you intentionally put your kids in a bubble and like the environment it provides (there’s nothing wrong with admitting this- it’s a big reason people send to private schools in the first place) then you obviously care about that more than putting them in a socioeconomically diverse environment. That said, your modest upbringing will be a message they grow up with. I grew up well off and going to private schools, but a) my grandparents on both sides grew up poor or middle class (depression babies and Holocaust survivors) and built everything they ever had from scratch and b) my own parents have always lived modestly despite having a high HHI- lived in a modest house in a nice neighborhood drove modest cars etc. As such, we grew up privileged but not terribly materialistic, and had an appreciation for the sacrifices our family made to get to that point. That’s kind of the best you can hope for without some kind of self serving poverty tourism. [/quote]
