[quote=Anonymous]I agree that kids are better off doing as much as possible by themselves, just as many of us did 30+ years ago. But, the process and competition for the elite schools are completely different than 30 years ago. I don't blame parents who feel they need to go over the top for their kids. Because if you think we have a winner-take-all society, the rewards/privileges of having the most exclusive educational credentials seem especially important and worth investing. Unfortunately, that also means that your money and social capital has a much bigger influence on your children's material well-being than their schooling. [/quote]
