Had they not, I would have been disappointed for sure and probably embarrassed. Kids around here have every advantage. To those who are given a lot, a lot should be expected.

I hate pampered, underachieving rich kids.

Yikes.

Why do you assume rich = intelligence?

And why do assume kids who go to non-elite schools (i.e. most college students) are not hard-working?

In the social circle where my kids were raised in the DMV, most of the kids were smart. If they didn't end up in prestigious schools, it's because they were pampered and indulged and got lazy.

Many smart kids and rich kids have learning disabilities. You seem woefully uninformed.

+1

And many rich kids are dumb despite having every advantage and still get into Ivies because of who their parents are.

The Trump kids come to mind…

Trupm comes to mind. ONe professor said he was the dumbest student the professor ever taught at Wharton. [/quote

Why are people still keeping their minds on Trump? So sad. Move on.

They are mad that Trump was his high school baseball captain, is a scratch golfer with numerous club championships, rebuilt Manhattan, became a billionaire, was a bestselling author, a decades long tv star, owns iconic properties worldwide, raised 5 healthy ivy educated children, won the Presidency his first campaign on a shoestring budget and marries and has sex with world class models.

He is a generational phenomenon. His smartest and most dominant move is to have a prettier wife than all his haters. It’s the domination of his inferiors and it drives them nuts.

Well said!
