[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so i guess, psychologically, you like to think about being at a high status school to justify the tuition. got it. i would encourage you to think about what this sort of thing does to your child--who is just a pawn -- in your self esteem boosting game.. what are you going to do when your child gets into only an "ok" colllege? or gets an "ok" job?

Only an o.k. college?  Impossible, I have clearly sent them on the path to the Ivy Leagues.  If they screw it up, I will disown them of course.  This is tongue in cheek.  You are ignoring my earlier point which was to say that the quality of the education is the most important factor. I also admitted that I enjoy the status but never said that the status was the reason for choosing the school.  I also said the kid is oblivious to all of it.  And if my child were just a pawn in my self esteem building game, I can think of worse indignities than being sent to a really good school.  The horror, the horror, the horror.  [/quote]

Is it wrong that I actually find this funny and true.  Id e surprised if anyone can honestly say they don't.  Like PP said, I don't believe people send their children to school for this reason but you better believe that there is an element to this once their child is attending.[/quote]
