[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP We are doing that now. It is awkward. The other parents are constantly buying cars, real estate and vacations. Of course the DC asks us when are we ...? Umm, never. The idea on DCUM that the rich never spend money is ridiculous. They are rich -- they spend money on things. Things we cant afford. It is a good education, but. We turned down the super elite private b/c it was another step up on the money ladder. Perhaps if you have a charming personality and a thick skin it will not bother you or yours.[/quote]

Goodness! We are that family, and yes you hear about kids going on vacations and whatnot, but at social functions these things do not come up.
It's an intellectual crowd and people are very interesting. Without revealing more there are some very high powered/important parents at the school and I enjoy their company very much and where they vacation does not enter into any social conversations (just hear about people going places from the kids sometimes). The kids seem great too (not all, but most, like anywhere).
I'm pretty sure our kids still appreciate our peasant like vacations and our beat up minivan anyway .
The education is great. Make sure to tour schools to get an idea of the climate before you decide.[/quote]

I'm sure they do. [/quote]
