[quote=Anonymous]The wealthier the parents, the greater the probability of children having debilitating learning difficulties, that need remedying by allowing the children extra time on standardized tests.  This, when coupled with expensive one-to-one coaching over a long time, brings out the true genius in these children.  With legacy, early admission, and full-pay as cherry on top, these children will become newly minted matriculates of the Ivies.  With the generous practice by Ivies of grade inflation, free tutoring, ensuring that no one fails, these children will one day become adults and graduates of the said Ivies.  Finally, the trusted family connections come in handy in securing lucrative careers for the newly minted Ivy graduates of the wealthy.

What is not to love of American education and social class system!  When we soon get rid of the one small irksome problem of universities giving consideration for children of URM, first-gen, poor families, voila! we will have devised the perfect cycle for perpetuating our wealthy dynasties.
