To quote you: "They’ll learn a lot, though, from what they can tell matters to me, from how they see me spending my time." Do you only have love for your family and your people, or do you love everyone and want all to succeed? The past couple of years have been a perfect time to examine how we relate to others outside of our immediate circle. Where we choose to live certainly can act as a bubble or inner circle. If you don't see it - it doesn't exist - which is also true for our children's schools. We lived in downtown Atlanta and still managed not to understand what other families really went through just past the dividing highway. You want the best for your children - yes of course - but don't some of us have enough? Time to give back and set a more level playing field. Maybe we can stop thinking about which college they'll go to and start thinking about what kind of person we are raising to begin with.
