Two Articles About the Rich & Poor

by mapgirl on July 6, 2009

First, an article on the poor and how badly the safety nets are unraveling and getting worse. I am horrified that it’s getting worse out there for the desperately poor. I don’t know what else to do for them.

Second, an article on the rich. Of course, the best thing about it is this bitchy little chestnut that is all too true.

Victoria Goldman, the author of “The Manhattan Guide to Private Schools and Selective Public Schools,” suggested that the teenagers’ behavior may have something to do with the private schools in the show — which she said are not top-shelf. (There are no students from Dalton, Brearley, Chapin and Collegiate, to name a few of the most highly regarded schools in the city.)

“The schools on this show are all at the bottom,” Ms. Goldman said. “There would never be a Brearley girl on this show.”
