So, a barista couldn't possibly be highly intelligent, educated and classy. This is classic entitled classism at its finest. 
You know what, PP? I'm a extraordinary intelligent, classy lady that's quite capable of raising amazing children. I switched careers when I became older to something less "sophisticated" to allow my mind to relax at work, so I have plenty of mental energy for my art. We don't all fit the same mold. I certainly hope that you do not have a nanny, since you'd surely look down a her, even tho many nannies have degrees. [/quote]
She could be. Statistically, she is less likely to be all these things.  This is not personal to you.

If you switched careers to something less sophisticated when you became older, you couldn't possibly be a fun, sweet, young thing the PP had in mind.  Your education would be..er...in the way.

I have no problems with nannies but my DH wouldn't have married one, and I don't want my son to marry one or my daughter to become one, either. [/quote]

I hope parents like you understand that your children are separate from you and certainly get to have their own lives outside of your preferences. Being a nanny is a honorable vocation, one often held by people who were teachers and have multiple degrees. All professions that serve society in some way are equally honorable. There's no intelligence difference between the barista and the doctor- in many cases, the barista is studying and paying for degrees. Intelligence is spread over all demographics and class is innate, not the product of money. Your classism is as sad as racism . What will you do if one of your children wants to become an artist? Is gay? Falls in love with a fishmonger? Decides to become a chef or go to another country and do charity work? Will you teach your children that certain vocations are substandard? How will this affect how they treat others?

The most critical thing children need to acquire is empathy, kindness, and a love of nature and the arts. All else follows.  [/quote]
