[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful if people specified elementary, middle or high school. My experience is that the kids don't really notice or care about the differences in incomes/ experiences until middle school.[/quote] I disagree. Even little kids want to go to the same summer camp as their friend and have the same video games as their friends or go to the same private swim team or soccer club or have their birthday party at the same place. It starts early -- it isn't about noticing the differences, so much as expecting and asking for the same. So you start saying no earlier and more frequently and teaching those life lessons PPs talk about pretty much right away. Nothing wrong with that, but it does start right away. BTW, it also happens to a degree in the public schools, particularly if the school has economic diversity. Some do, some don't. It's all relative.[/quote]
