re: #18 reine.de.tout

The “private school parents” have an incentive to require their kids to be personally responsible, because the parents are sacrificing much, in many cases, to pay that tuition.

This is just myth-making and romanticization/rationalization about the supposed primacy of private schools. It’s not always true.

Parents of kids in private schools are not better people than parents of kids in public schools, simply because their children attend a school that has the word “private” tacked on to it.

Daddys-money children can take far longer to understand what “personal responsibility” means when they’ve never had to sacrifice anything in their lives. The experience can actually be quite infantilizing.
