[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the idea of this thread disgusting. OP is angry at children from non-college educated backgrounds for “pulling down” her child. Why is it just okay to assume that someone from a poorer background is non-academic and a leech? They’re at the same institution as your child, so what does that say about the type of college your DC goes to if they are accepting these non-academic poor kids who are apparently  drain? You are not better than others for possessing a Bachelors, my lord.[/quote]

I mean yeah ... the thread is pretty disgusting. Disgusting enough that it is likely a troll post designed to rile people up. [/quote]
What's disgusting is the lack of transparency and honesty by some people (like yourself) who purport to be woke saviors of  the lower class but who are really just liars (to themselves and others). There's hierarchy everywhere and I guarantee everyone reading this buys into it. When you send your kid to a private high school, when you send your kid to a solid public or private school and forgo a full ride to Podunk U., when you don't invite your cleaning people to thanksgiving, you're buying into the natural hierarchy of life. Stop trying to feign innocence to the ways of the world. It isn't cute.[/quote]?? 
Just statistically, one really has to be resilient and work pretty damn hard to go from a rough background to a good college. I don’t see how it’s a savior complex to tell OP to get their $hit together and stop blaming random kids for their child’s failure. Also, not everyone on DCUM is rich and has cleaning stuff, some are *shockers* normal people.[/quote]
