[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a kid considering applying to these schools it blows my mind that a school claiming to be focused on equality and social justice has multiple families talking about eating out and door dashing daily. Our full -pay family could not afford that and I would think that type of behavior creates disparity among students. Rich kids door dashing or going to Whole Foods and the other half unpacking their turkey sandwiches from home? That is pretty tone deaf at best.[/quote]

+1 They should institute a dress code that requires everyone to wear the same clothes and shoes too. Kids rolling up to school in their limited edition $500 Nikes while the middle class full pay families have to rough it with their off the shelf tennis shoes is also tone deaf.

Kids should also be required to be dropped off at least 3 blocks away from school on a staggered schedule lest classmates see others with fancier and more expensive cars. Would it be too much to require Uber for all to make pick up and drop off more equitable?
