<p>Pizzagirl is right - there is some truth in every joke…! As humorous as The Preppy Handbook was/is meant to be, a lot of research was done by the authors on topics like schools (am friend’s with one of the authors).</p>

<p>I would have to feature Dartmouth more than they did though - feels and looks like boarding school, just much bigger.</p>

Exactly how much less could you care?

<p>The amount he cares equals x as x approaches negative infinity.</p>

Preppy (as in pejorative definition) is an “attitude” and it can be from real money and arrogant or it can be feigned money and arrogant. Either way, its arrogant. </p>

<p>Dress code may or may not play a role in it. </p>

<p>I know kids from money who are lovely human beings and kids from lower wealth families who aren’t fit to work at Burger King. But I also know kids from lower wealth who have more class than some uber rich kids I know. You can either be white trash or trash with cash. Your pick.</p>

<p>True character comes from within and has little do to with social status, wealth, wardrobe or celebrity. Manners are something everyone should aspire to uphold, regardless of race, creed, social status or wealth status…let alone what school you go to. </p>

<p>Or as my mother taught me, “it doesnt matter how many bad people are “out there”, the cream always rises to the top.” And she wasnt referring to money.

<p>ghostbuster is the moral conscience of CC. I hope and pray that you continue to divine us with your knowledge and wisdom, for we are mere mortals not worthy of your presence. I thirst and hunger for your daily offerings, without which I would only be an empty vessel floating in a sea of ignorance.</p>
