We had a lawclerk awhile back from a very wealthy HS. He told me in his high school there was a graduating class of about 300. about 10 didn't go to college. The kid was a train wreck. He had no sense of work ethic.
People who know me from PB know that I am quick to make broad generalizations based upon one data point. From this one guy I decided I want my kids in a school with a range of economic strata.

Oh. My. God.
I agree with Hank.
Indeed, I have had to send my kids to an economically diverse private school (yes, they exist) to get them away from the incredibly undiverse though extremely well thought of public school in our town.
