Private school parents: what % of your child's class have a WOHM? What % would you estimate have a net worth above $10M?

OP here: that's interesting. We are at a school (non-TT, non-UES) where I have been one of only 2 or 3 WOHMs for the past couple of years and find it harder and harder. I have to miss so many meetings and events during the day which DC resents. Finding playdates this summer is a real struggle as classmates have relocated to second homes outside NYC. We are wondering whether it is just our school.

This is happening here too except that our nanny does pick-up and drop-off. I feel like the teachers look at us negatively - got some off-color comments about the issue. Would you mind sharing which school you are currently attending or know of as more friendly to working parents? It is getting increasingly uncomfortable for us. The $ for tuition and donations to the annual fund (we are not on FA) has to come from somewhere!
