[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading through this has convinced me how absolutely wretched most of you are, and you have no idea. I think I’d rather hang out with the ordinary folk sending their kids to public than any of you horrid people. [/quote]

Semi adjacent topic ramblings.

Yea, the flaunting of wealth (in this forum in particular) has always been something else. I’d like to think half the time it’s just a bunch of kids trolling, but unfortunately we’re familiar with “people like that.”

We’re good friends with a “big 3” (another joke, but whatever) teacher. She refuses to let her kid go to the school because of how obscene the kids are there. Different planet kind of things.

Among many examples, one of the more amusing was she didn’t want to have to deal with her child watching classmates go on extravagant trips all the time (a fair number of them on private, of course) while they did a stay/local vacation. That kind of flagrant display of excess can eat away at a young mind.

To the inevitable haters of these comments, we are well off like you. We just don’t flaunt it, or let anyone know. You might want to consider the same. None of us really deserve this, we just worked hard or had a right place right time moment.

Something about wealth in this area really brings out the special in people.

We now return you to the regularly scheduled show off.[/quote]

I’m sorry but that’s kind of ridiculous. I went to a NE boarding school with some kids whose parents were richer than nearly anyone in the DC area. Saudi money. Old NYC money.

It taught me a good lesson about perspective and how differently people live. Some of those kids were obnoxious; I found the ones that weren’t.

Not sending your kid to a good school because some of the kids are obnoxious is ridiculous.[/quote]
