[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps I'm slow (because I only attended a state school after all!), but I would love to understand the parents' thought process here. Is the expectation that the student will transform from someone who requires 23 tutors and curated hobbies into a young adult who can function independently? Or how is that supposed to work out? Do they not think beyond the Ivy admission?[/quote] Let's see, the parent could pay for the fancy apartment + help to get the fancy job, then continue to pay for the cleaners/food delivery/anything else until the kid makes enough money to take over those bills. I thought this was crazy but it's actually the plan of some parents I know. They are very wealthy and have told me they/and their kids don't like discomfort. [/quote] Whereas other kids enjoy discomfort?[/quote]
