Whether that is the same as more respectful is a different question.

But the classroom experience is better, OP, if that’s your actual question.

They also have parents who are not completely checked out. [/quote]

Have you really never seen completely checked out rich parents? I went to fancy schools growing up and had several friends whose parents sent them to expensive schools but otherwise didn't give a shit about them and hardly interacted with them, the schools, other parents, etc. The kids were fending for themselves, they just weren't poor. [/quote]

So kids are both neglected and entitled? Seems like this would help the kids develop "grit" talked about so often here. [/quote]

Yes, both. But developing grit? No, few kids going to expensive privates have any opportunities for that.

Yet somehow private school teachers report higher job satisfaction than public school teachers. But I'm sure you know best with your vast experience that one time you were in fancy schools.[/quote]

You are assuming the immediate PP is the one who went to a fancy school but you are mistaken. I do agree with them that rich kids can be both neglected and entitled. Not a comment on teacher satisfaction.  I have a good deal of experience observing kids in fancy schools over a number of years. You?[/quote]

I don’t need to observe rich kids to know them and their secret ways, lol. But you clearly do. Tell us more about your observations. Im sure it will be fascinating. But also completely off topic. [/quote]

Sure, it’s off-topic. It’s DCUM. Threads wander off-topic, or hadn’t you noticed? Someone said kids are more respectful because their parents are more engaged and someone else said some parents are not engaged at all and someone else questioned that, asking how kids can be spoiled and neglected at the same time. I offered my experience. See how that works?

[/quote]

But still the kids are mere respectful despite whatever deep insights I’m sure your limited experience could provide. Sorry that hurts.[/quote]

You are not following the thread very well.  I didn’t comment on the respectful issue. I commented that kids attending expensive private schools can be both neglected and entitled. And most have few opportunities to develop grit.

Thank you for your concern but this sort of discussion doesn’t hurt me at all. Par for the course.

Nobody cares except you. You're avoiding the issue at hand because it doesn't allow you to dump on rich kids.[/quote]

DP.  WTF calm down.  You are the one who is throwing the thread off track with your angry nonsense.  Go take a walk or something.  You are annoying.[/quote]

I'm angry? Look in the mirror.  :lol: [/quote]
