[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Harvard angst is just a proxy for generalized parental anxiety disorder that afflicts Gen X parents. Our parents fucked us up with all that latch key/free range parenting stuff, so we're determined to not make the same mistakes.[/quote] Disagree. Being a latchkey kid made kids more independent and responsible, mostly, not all. I think the obsession with Ivies is a reflection of people's obsession with materialism and status.[/quote] It is that, and a general sense that the U.S. is turning into an economic caste system, kind of like Brazil. [/quote] That's where my (admittedly fairly mild) anxiety comes from. I truly don't care about status or wealth, but I get a little antsy about the increasing inequality gap and what it might mean for her future options. [/quote]
