[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t you just go to your state flagship, especially if it’s ranked in , say, the top 50? Tell me it makes no sense to pay all of that money for a private university that isn’t ranked in the top 15 or 20 when you could go to UVA, Michigan, North Carolina, maybe Florida, and obviously the UC schools?[/quote]

Because we are rich. [/quote]

I know you’re trying to be cool, but just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you’re smart. The second tier schools, private, and not, are just not as good as the top state flagships. So you’re throwing your money away. Maybe you have the money to throw, but that doesn’t make it smart.[/quote]

I also drive a Mercedes, which is not “smart”. Sometimes it’s about quality of life. My kids wanted to go to those schools so we’ll pay for it because we can more than afford it. YOLO. [/quote]

Well at least you admit you’re not smart. And obviously neither are your kids judging from where they ended up at college.  No doubt you threw money away on private high school as well.  What a waste all of it.  [/quote]

I'm sorry you're poor and bitter.

I'm glad to be rich enough to pay for a high quality education regardless of how smart someone is, and pay for people to pursue the calling of teaching, and pay for a comfortable life, and I'm happy to pay for people who need public welfare education. [/quote]

lol nice try.  The only problem is you’re not talking to someone who is poor.  Far from it.  If you really think that schools like UVA and Michigan etc are full of poor kids you’re even less bright than I thought.

What’s that saying about how you can tell who the richest person is at any fancy event?  It’s usually the one in the least fancy clothes.

Ha ha but I was right about the private high school obviously![/quote]

DP. You literally think everyone should go to either the Ivies or their state schools? You know there's not enough room at the colleges for this, right? People are always complaining here that their state flagship is too selective. If you're actually rich and could easily afford a private college, maybe your kid should go elsewhere to make room for some other kid who couldn't afford a private college.[/quote]
