[quote=Anonymous][quote]We moved from one of the more affluent (wealthy) ESs to a strong ES/MS/HS path that was more UMC and ethnically diverse. My then rising 5th grade DD fought the move, hard. A month into her new school, I asked her how it was going, and the answer was: "Mom, the kids are so much nicer here.".[/quote] I find this part interesting. In my experience, the wealthy tend to be fairly secure and less aggressive on a personal level (until you get to the so-rich-the-rules-don't-apply-to-me crowd, and most of those kids go to private). It's the UMC strivers that seem to feel like they have something to prove and do it by tearing down those they perceive as lesser than them to boost themselves up. It's like a sociological study for my spouse and me as neither of us grew up in the DMV.[/quote]
