[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, keep in mind that ultra-wealthy kids and the schools that serve them often have their own set of issues. Maybe not the same issues as poor kids, but issues nonetheless. Think drugs, entitlement, lack of diversity, etc., etc. [/quote] What does lack of diversity do? Disrupt class, cause poor PTA involvement? Are the elementary school kids doing drugs wait that's in the poor kids schools.[/quote] There is much more drug use in higher SES schools. The drugs are also more hardcore. On the other hand, you have more physical alterations in the lower SES schools. In both, your kid can avoid the negative behavior by carefully picking friends. Pick your poison, but don't assume the negative behavior is limited to more diverse schools. [/quote]
