[quote=Anonymous]We’ve been over this so many times.  It’s clear what’s happening.  Your kids can’t get into the Ivies or other top privates and you’re too embarrassed to say they’re going elsewhere in the USA, so you send them abroad and having made that decision you now insist that their educations are better, they’re having more fun, their job prospects are better etc.

What’s really going on is that instead of going to college with the unwashed American masses they’re doing it with the unwashed European ones for less money.

The top students in the world aren’t clamoring to study in Europe—they’re clamoring to study here.

Your kids are going to school with millions of other kids. They’re not going to Harvard.

What you’ve chosen to do is fine.  Great.  You do you.  But it doesn’t make you special, it doesn’t make your kids special, and it certainly provides no license to tear down kids who aren’t doing the same thing. I guarantee you most kids at most everywhere are  “having fun.“[/quote]
