[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's another way of looking at it.  Private school parents tend to be so uber competitive that they make it their business to know not only what their kids' classmates are doing but what their kids' classmates' parents do for a living and where they went to school.  It's all about comparing to see how everyone measures up.  I never said I didn't know "much" about my kids' friends or their parents.  I know a lot; I'm just not interested in where they went to college or how much money they make or how many sports my kids' friends play.  That's all trivial bs that says nothing about these people as people.  I've been to hundreds of parties and events with my kids' friends and their parents and this stuff doesn't come up because none of us cares.  This is why I couldn't imagine sending my kids to elite private schools and having to partake in such trivial bs competition and "show me your and I'll show you mine" with the other parents, even though we easily could have afforded it.

Jeez, are you trying to sound like a jackass?  Maybe take it down a notch.  You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.[/quote]

THIS is the reaction one gets every single time one questions the values of education and pedigree obsessed parents.  "You must be jealous."  It never occurs to the private school jackasses to do a little introspection and ask themselves what's really meaningful and what isn't.  [/quote]
