[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say it's awful. But it can lead to a cluelessness about people who don't have as many advantages. I grew up in an educated but solidly middle-class family. I went to school with mostly people like myself - mostly white, mostly middle-class 2-parent christian families. But there were enough kids at my high school that I did have friends with less money, or a single parent, or of a different race or religion. I feel like I'm more cognizant of the range of people out there than some of my friends who went to lily-white upper-class schools. I do realize how lucky I am relative to most people, rather than feeling "poor" because I "only" make $90K in an area where that is the low-end of normal. we're moving soon and will probably be priced out of the "best" school in the district, but I'm cool with that because it's a very homogenous school and I figure more diversity is probably better for my daughter anyway.[/quote]
