[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it when people say they are down to earth and they are driving this: 2013 Range Rover makes U.S. debut with $83,500* base price  OR 2013 VolvoXC90 Luxury Midsize SUVs , MSRP: $39,700 - $45,600. [/quote]

Agree, a new Acura or Volvo cost the same as my slightly used Mercedes.  I hope people don't think I'm so status conscience due to my Coach outlet purse!  It really can't compete with the LVs I see at the office on women who don't have their kids at private.  I wonder if people at public school worry so much about the social inequality at their school?  [b]Don't the CC moms still hang out together even though there might be a few FARMS families attending?[/b][/quote]

Absolutely.  We have several friends whose kids attend our neighborhood public school.  When we go to parties, it seems like the social dynamic is much more extreme than it is at our private school.  There are the CC moms who live in the ritziest part of the neighborhood who are all tight friends and then there are moms whose kids live in the less ritzy part but who are still solidly UMC then there are the FARMS kids.  Our private school is not nearly as socially segregated.   [/quote]
