[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why is there is arms race mentality to get in to Ivies and SLAC. Why not let kids have rich, rigorous, childhood knowing that smart kids will make it anyway[/quote] Because outside of the ivies are not about the education, they are about the connections and recruiters at those schools. Every year they turn away full classes of equally qualified candidates. The real problem is that the US has become like France and given an inordinate prestige and thus power to the alumni of these universities. They are not smarter or better, just empowered by our own obsessions. [/quote]
