Ok so basically out of all these definitions there are PIECES and i mean PIECES as in parts of the
definition that's correct. Yeah, the kids at New Trier typically reside from well-off families, but the dirt rich, burning
money just for fun mentality is wrong.
People do come from families that hold a certain amount of wealth but it should not be conceived that EVERYONE has SO much endless
money. The idea that ALL the kids drive BMWs and hit up Daddys ATM whenever they do so please is not the complete norm for all the kids. A fair portion come from middle class/upper-middle class families, and one should not stereotype the whole entire student body as ridiculously rich. However, on the other hand one should not go as far to say that New Trier flat out sucks at life, since the school is well respected. But if you read all these definitions they were probably written by who else than NEW TRIER KIDS...umm bias much? Yeah, of course they're going to inflate the image and make it sound like some type of fairy land and those who are "less fortunate" should feel honored that these great NT
people are taking time out of their busy rich filled
day to write a review ON THEIR OWN SCHOOL. See my point? In all honesty, it is not all cracked up as it seems to be, this idea of a complete wealthy no-worry land is semi false and should not be viewed as anything more
special as a rich community. On the other hand, what is wealth to you? If you live in say, North
Chicago and see poverty day to
day and enter into New Trier then yes, these definitions are probably
pretty accurate. However, if you live in a well off community from say the New
England area, and walk into New Trier you will say it is nothing special and maybe even a little poser-
ish since New
England pioneered the "prep" idea (and we all know NT is filled with colorful polos are vineyard bags). I say I should be a fairly reliable source given the fact i attended New Trier High School and who else knows the school better than a former student? No one.
