[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm afraid of my child slipping into a different social class than the one I grew up in and am most comfortable with. I don't mean in terms of money--I am not wealthy--but in terms of habits of the mind. At home and in school, I grew up around people who read books, discussed history, understood scientific principles, were curious about the world, appreciated fine art and music, and were generally very smart. I get nervous that if my child attends a lower-ranked school, his peer group will be comprised of less intellectual people and that this will dull his mind a bit. [/quote] This could happen anywhere and anytime though! This could already have happened in High School!! And if it didn’t happen yet, perhaps you were successful at instilling the value of books, science, and so on, and they will look for that wherever they go, right? [/quote]
