Do you feel that your parents social class had a positive or negative effect on your educational acheivement, if so, why:  My parents' social class no doubt had an impact on my educational acheivement but, judged against peers who's parents were about as well off as mine, I didn't notice any real impact.  I would not likely have gone to private school even if my parents could have afforded (which they likely could have).  Finding the funds for university was taxing but not overly so.
