[quote=Anonymous]PP I agree about the part of "lesser means" but not sure I understand what you mean exactly by "more diverse situations."   There is a wide variety of cultures, nationalities, races, religions and ethnicities represented in GF.   Almost even number of Democrats and Republicans.   The majority of the people I've met at our schools are hard working folks who have done well professionally, not trust fund babies.   We have stable home lives, support and encourage our kids to likewise work hard and excel at what they do.   We probably have a bigger share of tiger moms but so what?  A lot of the kids are competitive like their parents but I don't view that as a bad thing --- it motivates the whole class to do more, to do better.   As for the "us vs. Them" mentality I think that goes both way don't you?  That didn't even cross my mind until you raised it.   Is the assumption then that your kids must be among "those with lesser means and more diverse situations" in order to view them as "peers with valid ideas and cultures"?   I disagree.  [/quote]
