[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff Selling has a talent for creating names for things that are not clear.  Buyers and sellers still makes me confused. I get the concept, just who is buying and who is selling.

I read this email this morning and thought the same thing. I think he's right on with this - he describes me! - but are the skip over schools the ones we're skipping over a la "fly over" - or the ones we're skipping to?

But whatever -- for sure agree with this. Not paying 90k a year for BC, sorry BC lovers. Just no value there for full pay families. [/quote]

The schools are buying and selling. If they're buyers, they have to give you money. If they're sellers, you have to give them more money.

Fly-over schools are the ones you're skipping. Same concept as fly-over states--they're not the destination.

I read the email. he doesn't say fly overs, that's the PP.  that would be clear.  he's using skip-overs and it's less clear, but I get the idea. [/quote]
