I get your point, and yeah, the disparities in perspective make me cringe at times. I got so excited over getting a whole $250 for Christmas, but I also know that for many of the people at my school, if I said as much, they would be confused as to why I was so happy about getting 'only' that much. >.<

Perhaps even more depressingly hilariously, during a high school government class in which a teacher was discussing the perks of living in the White House if you're the President. At one point, he mentioned servants, and most of us - either actually middle/lower class or at least strongly identifying with it more than upper class - started descending into sarcastic slave jokes, except for this one kid who looked really fucking confused and who was also the only kid in the class whose family had a maid. He didn't seem to get that most of the kids in the class were more likely to know or be related to maids than actually have maids, and thus a lot of his humor about his home life went right over people's heads or was honestly offensive or just not funny. -_-

My high school was a...very diverse one, class-wise.
