[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s nothing worse than rich, privileged kids thinking they understand poor people because they watched a documentary or read an article or because their parents vacationed in a developing country. In many cases, I’d prefer they just lean into their out-of-touchness. That unbridled confidence that you pay so much for makes it hard for them to admit that there are things they just don’t understand. So maybe just stop trying to drill some sense of perspective into them and teach them to be humble sometimes.[/quote]

I like this answer a lot

Also, as Bill Cosby said, "Your mother and I are rich. You have nothing."

If possible, make them work in demeaning, stressful jobs as teenagers, with strangers for bosses

Skip the summer internship at Uncle Ted's law firm

They'll still never really know the fear of growing up poor, but there are worse things to miss out on[/quote]

Right, I’m going to look to Bill Cosby for morals. [/quote]

Durrr.... clever

Pretend someone else said it then[/quote]
