[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's were on the lower end of the spectrum for: family importance, "right" clubs, "right" neighborhoods, historical belonging to the group. Inequitable treatment in one case by the school. Both were a huge mistake and there was social stigma. [/quote] You have just mirrored my DCs experience at a Big 3. Fortunately, senior year is on the horizon. I don't care what anyone says some teachers assume or are given privy to your DC's FA status. Their perception of a child's family background, unfortunately, will impact equitable treatment and expectations. [b]Children are highly sensitive to feeling less than in these environments, some will suck it up and successfully make it through and others will internalize it and underachieve. [/b] [/quote] Well said, PP. Having attended top private with siblings as a have-not and sending DS to top private as a have, I definitely have seen this to be true. [/quote]
