[quote=Anonymous]I teach in a high FARMS school (95% but not in the DC area). The students in our school have nicer things than my own DS. The vast majority of them have their own phones (nicer than mine) by 5th grade. My DS just got a phone the summer before 8th grade and my students said they felt sorry for him. Lol. The wear name brand shoes/shirts/jackets, etc. Most of them have their own tablets (as do their younger siblings) and multiple gaming systems. On paper, they are poor but in reality, they have money for some luxury items. So if I didn't already know the demographics of my school, I would assume most students were wealthy enough to afford these luxuries. My DS goes to a Catholic school and he is probably one of the poorest kids there. I guess it comes down to priorities and what you want to spend your disposable income on.[/quote]
