The fact that the teens in Gossip Girl seem to be irresponsible, aimless and unfocused is kind of sad. You would think that children from great wealth and privilege would be taught by their parents that wealth and privilege has its obligations and responsibilities. Most of the characters are teens. Teens are rather boring simply because they don't know that much and are very opinionated about what they think they know. Gossip Girl gives the impression that private schools as a genre are just for rich kids. That's just not true anymore. Ms. von Ziegsar attended Nightingale-Bamford back in the 70s and 80s. Much has changed since then. Yes, children from very wealthy families still attend private school. Yes, the offspring of corporate titans and famous neurosurgeons still attend private school. But nowadays so do the policeman's daughter and the truck driver's son. Diversity rules in private schools pretty much everywhere these days, except perhaps at Le Rosey. NYC Prep NYC Prep hit the small screen in June 2009. It purports to be a reality show. In reality it's very unreal. What's to Like
