I've never watched this show, but after reading the posts I have to say I'm not surprised at some of this stuff. Up until high school I went to ritzy private schools in NYC. (In 1998 my 8th grade tuition cost more than my private college tuition did when I started freshman year. This was a day school not a boarding school mind you.) In 7th and 8th grades, when everyone had their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, everyone tried to outdo everyone else and have the most extravagant one possible. I remember one girl's bat mitzvah that I went to was really crazy. Someone told me that her parents actually spent way more on that than on her tuition.
