[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public school your child would attend if they weren’t in private is probably the same in terms of demographics if you have a 7 figure HHI.[/quote]

Because you choose to live in a neighborhood where everyone is rich and mostly white.  Move.

Why?  I could care a crap less about the race.  But why would I not live someplace where everyone is rich?  That is where rich people live.[/quote]

Because someday your kid is going to be around non-rich people. Maybe if they’re a doctor, or maybe they’re college roommate, teacher, professor, coach or teammates. [/quote]

Sure.  So?[/quote]

Are you this dense all the time? You don’t want your kid to say something classist, entitled or out-of-touch when they grow up & the stakes are higher.[/quote]

I hope they do not.  I hope we have done a good job on that front.  But not sure how this translates into where I live.  I not going to live somewhere I don't want to for those reasons.  I grew up in a city housing project.  There is no honor in growing up poor or even middle class.  Nothing wrong with it either.  It is what it is.  [/quote]

Your kid will have no perspective on their privilege if they live in a rich neighborhood. If you don’t care about them having that perspective, that’s your choice, although it may come back to bite your kids later in life. [/quote]
