[quote=Anonymous]The focus on what is "unfair" is so childish. The world is unfair. We all have unearned privileges and "unfair" disadvantages. Playing fields are not level, and there is no such thing as a "purely" meritocratic system, because some people start with a leg up. Teach your kids to do their best, but also to recognize that the world is often arbitrary, and there is no point whining about it. Do your best; help others do their best; recognize that neither riches nor Ivy admissions is going to bring "happiness," and focus on what actually matters....[/quote]
