[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just find it amusing.  Regardless of what the mathematical mean is, I don't consider 300k middle class.  It's not like you struggle to get by on 300k.  Depends on your choices I guess.  I support a family of 4 on $130k and feel fortunate.  I don't feel less than the middle.  Maybe you think I am.  Doesn't matter to me.  But it's just interesting how people become out of touch with how others in the area live, including myself [/quote]

People are very out of touch around here. Many seem to have insulated themselves in their communities and have no idea how others are living. Their feeling of middle class is relative.

To qualify for F/R lunch your family of 4 income has to be below $50,000. These people are throwing 300,000 around like they are just middle of the road. And maybe in their communities they are. But they need to understand what is transpiring elsewhere in the county.

Do they process that over 60 percent of the students at Annandale, Lewis, and Justice are in families that make less than $50,000 (roughly, depending on family size)?[/quote]
