[quote=Anonymous]I was lucky enough to witness this in a “fancy” part-time preschool and it was a key concern when we picked a private K-12. It’s been such a relief to no longer deal with it and know my daughter won’t be second-choice just because of our HHI. We are now blissfully free of those parents who are desperate for playdates with wealthy families, all the club parents carpooling to hockey and diving classes for their kids, all the gatekeeping over activities, the text chains you don’t want to be on but also are aware of enough to be affected by… And yes these are largely oldish DC families, often interrelated, with dabbler husbands, plus wealthy newcomers who aspire to that life. The worst is when you attend meet-the-teacher events and these families only care to talk with each other. [/quote]
