In my school the smartest kids were well off. But I went to a school/live in an area in which the majority of the populus are in the high income bracket. I really dont think there's any specific link.

I go to a private school and surprisingly OP's generalisation is true, at least for this particular case, but not necessarily a general truth.

Since I go to private school, I extremely doubt there are any poor people there

Just cause you go to a private school doesn't mean there are no poor people there. Some parents would sell cars and mortgage their houses etc just to pay for their children's education. Some kids earn scholarships. So to say that there are no poor people at a private school is quite stereotypical.

Poorest? Well, it depends. Do you mean personal cash like by having a job or like family wealth?

True... but it's the North Shore (Gordon/Hornsby area) and how many private schools with rich snobby kids are there (it is like a breeding ground for private schools)? I accept some people may have it tougher than others because of financial situations. Unless you have been there/ lived there you will realise most houses there are really expensive, massive and I highly doubt people there to be in financial ruin. Mortgages can only go so far, what if you run out of money and getting evicted? There's only like 4-5 guys I know on scholarships in my year and trust me they are not poor at all.

There are people at Knox who are not rich (as in parents earn combined less than 100k a year).

it's probably more prevalent at selective schools where the majority are asians..and asians are usually..poor..i mean..not as well off teehee

edit: well it's certainly the case at my school hahaha..omg i never actualyl realised that until op started this thread

????

if you mean poor compared to the rich cunts at sydney grammar or something.

It varies. There's really no correlation, in my opinion.

Agreed..
