It seems the kid is in at least one of these $$$ schools. I am now preparing myself to deal with the ultra-rich, hypocritical families. I am not a country-club person, nor am I capable of talking about social justice around millionaires. Can I survive?
You will find your people and so will your kid. Give it a chance.
Thank you. I really hope so.

Why not just do public then? The self deprecation seems disingenuous.
The whole society is disingenuous. Will not do public. Too much violence. We'd do everything to support our little snowflake.

Question: If you pay so much a year since K, you must have higher expectations for the kid in college. And then you have to be worried all the time if anything goes wrong.

It is true. We received a call and we didn’t even apply. Chin up, buttercup. Maybe next year!
