[quote=Anonymous]The reason they can't take only the rich kids is b/c the school will suffer from not having top talent. I know we all like to think that all the 'advantages' are going to help our kids be phenoms but that isn't the case.  Anecdotally- i don't have statistics, the children of teachers are capable of being highly successful, cream of the crop types and there is no way that they can afford to send them to the top 50 colleges full freight. If the colleges want the 'wojs' of the world they have to have more variation in SEC to grab all that talent. 
I think that that there will be some sort of reform and the funding cuts plus no bankruptcy option are leading drivers of this sort of indentured servitude stye loans that we have now. WE just need to keep pushing to refund the schools and have to be ok with them not being so luxurious- college kids need to a orate to clean teh bathroom not a live in maid. Right north college experience sets up this impossibly high UMC living standard that is beyond the reach of most college graduates even without student loan debt. [/quote]
