[quote=Anonymous]OP, these responses are typical for what happens when you shine a light on a norm and question it. We should question norms! Because without questioning them, all kinds of stuff gets normalized that should not. HIndsight is always 20/20. For one thing, its clearly classist to assume someone is going to college. GASP- some people don't. And that number is growing for all kinds of reasons. Interacting with people based on assumptions that may not have any intrinsic value to them means we are missing out on knowing something about them. I agree people do have ways they make conversation. I think people get a little reflexive and uncreative in making conversation, and this gets tiresome. Finally: people aren't often deeply interested in other people's realities. OP you could also have your daughter ask them why they are asking! ;)[/quote]
