When my daughter was in high school, I would always ask her about her plans during lunchtime. She always ate at school cafeteria, chairred some club meetings, or do her homework. At the time, I thought that she was such a model daughter and student, mature and responsible.
Years later, this topic of lunchtime came up again, and I realized that the primary reason that she couldn't leave school for lunch was because she didn't have lunch money nor transportation to go out. Her club members were from affluent families, more often that they would rather host a meeting at local cafe rather that at school cafeteria. To my daughter's credit, she did not yield to the peer pressure, nor she had options. She didn't envy their flashing nor their binding, but she realized the importance of capital, most importantly, social capital. I really appreciate her club sponsor on requesting all club meetings be held on campus.
When and if we knowingly exclude others because they are different, we should pause for a moment and ask ourselves.
Time cures all.
