<p>Ohh- M2 you mean where the gapping kills the kid? I thought this was just about the class difference thing. (You won’t like the snootiness; they’ll have more than you do.) Now I think you mean literally a school the kid cannot afford. Not just whether his rich roomie has a Mercedes and a Mac and can fly home (or better) on breaks. And, I was confused because the kids who have the coveted goodies at D1’s school are both richer- and poorer- than we are. No, a kid should not go to a school he can’t reasonably afford. But, without knowing his aid package, we can 't assume that by his socioeconimic status. K? </p>
<p>It’s not a light subject. And, my far above comment about poor parenting was aimed at parents who produce brats. Not parents who have to restrict their kids’ choices because of their own situations.</p>
