[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are feeling anxieties because you are a 'have not' then don't go to the private schools for petes sake.  But if you want a good education for your child and know that your child has a coveted seat wanted by many others then suck it up and know you are there for the education.

You are not there to hang your head because somebody has a bigger house or car.  Stop whining or get out and give your seat to someone who wants it regardless of status.[/quote]

I got the impression that OP was worried about how being a have not would impact her kid.  Having been one of the have nots I can say it was not fun as a kid.  Not really visible in the early years but much more visible in middle and high school.  And it really never goes away.  If I were in that economic situation I would not put my kids [b]through that experience[/b].[/quote]

Ditto. We would be comfortably in the middle at a 'good' public, but definitely not at a 'Big 3'. Family importance? Huh?

That's why my kids are going to a public.[/quote]
