Well, considering several of the core that our social circle was founded on went to a posh boarding school, I'm not terribly shocked at how widespread the sheltered privileged attitudes are. It's just one more thing that makes me Not Like Them and more uncomfortable.

I mean, the main reason I didn't go to CTY was because we couldn't afford to send me. I got the letter and everything, and I looked at all the course material and wanted to go take German, but there was no way my mom would/could pay for it. It would have been half her paycheck for the month (I think they were charging $1000 at the time?)
