[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the richest and most privileged kids start attending what are now second tier schools, those same schools will become the ones with the most well connected and successful alum networks. Just watch. Nothing will substantially changed.  The top tier in our society will just change the game. It’s how it has always worked and you are dreaming if you think those with power and money won’t figure out how the beat this new system. As the Ivies become the stomping grounds of the poor, first gen and unconnected, and the powerful will chose new colleges and move their privileged offspring elsewhere. It will then take the 99% at least a decade to figure out what failed in the plan to create more equality. [/quote]

I am not sure I agree with this. The playing field will be leveled at colleges, as it should be, and folks will find alternative paths if they don’t perceive it’s fair. It’s not likely in the academic path that we have now, as it no longer shows distinction amongst the rich. More and more will simply skip this and go right into careers or starting businesses. Education will switch to self-pace through a variety of mediums.  The college experience will be replaced by “gap-year” like traveling.[/quote]
