[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, keep in mind that ultra-wealthy kids and the schools that serve them often have their own set of issues.  Maybe not the same issues as poor kids, but issues nonetheless.  Think drugs, entitlement, lack of diversity, etc., etc.  [/quote]

What does lack of diversity do? Disrupt class, cause poor PTA involvement? Are the elementary school kids doing drugs wait that's in the poor kids schools.[/quote]

Rich kids do a ton of drugs. They also usually have cars to get around to do them.[/quote]

What defines a "rich kid"?  We're very comfortable, with a net worth near $10 million.  We usually take one vacation a year, sometimes abroad but usually to visit relatives.  Our kids get a token allowance if they do their chores, and have no access to our bank, securities and retirement accounts.  They share an older car, and are expected to fill it up with gas if it's close to empty.  Their peers seem to have similar lives.
