[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posts on this forum deride many colleges and the kids/families associated for being “striver” in vibe/character. While some of it is true (my kid is at a “striver” U), there’s a reason for that. When you’re the first generation (or person) in your family or community to aspire to a certain band of selective colleges, you’re less likely to have a social circle filled with LAC grads who majored in the humanities. (And no swipe at LAC’s- I attended one and majored in the humanities). I guess I’m seeing it from both sides of the fence…[/quote] Because in the US you're taught everyone can succeed if they work hard. Then you dare upset the economic caste system and you're told your not welcome. People want to protect their standing and how dare you come along and threaten it?[/quote]
