[quote=Anonymous] [quote]A poster is quite obsessed with knocking people out, people stealing the "prize", convinced that the so-called "entitled" are out to deny opportunity to others. This poster is advocating "test prep" as a means to knock out others before they knock you out, to steal the prize before someone else can, to trick the "entitled" at their own game.

The problem is that people that think the world is out to get them will only see evidence of that all around them. They assume that if they are willing to trick people that others must be trying to trick them.

Luckily, we are in the US where there is plenty of opportunity for all the Davids and all the Goliaths. There is no need to for knock outs or tricks to do well in the US.
Most people in the US treat others fairly and honestly and can expect to be treated the same way in return. Sure, there are dishonest people, but they are not the majority and the dishonest are not respected by those that know them.[/quote]

It is the same poster who is obsessed with living in the right zip code so that her children can attend the best schools, play lacrosse and crew in preparation for the Ivy or SLAC prize.  If her children do not do well at lacrosse (hard not to do for essentially non athletes) she will put them in squash or water polo.  The poster knows this is the easiest route for average entitled kids to get to Ivys and SLAC ( with little competition) who must fill their eights and athletic rosters.  Academic stars in every American zip code today largely do not play these club sports!
