[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much whining. There are also cars that cost $400,000. If you don’t want to pay that, there are reliable options that are a fraction of that. Same with colleges.

Community colleges, GI Bill, colleges away from the coasts, graduate in 3 years etc. Out-of-state merit aid at large public universities in unglamorous states can be amazing even if kid isn’t brilliant. [/quote]

Your analogy is stupid. People do not need a luxury vehicle. Education is necessary. And when you have certain families cut out of the "luxury" market, while subsidizing others who will get to go to those institutions for free or low cost, that is the sign of a problem. It should not be this way for anyone. [/quote]

It's actually a great and accurate analogy.

Education is necessary.  But if you think the only way to get it is via T25 elite schools you are sadly mistaken.  A smart kid will excel no matter where they attend.  Why?  Because of who they are.  It's the drive, determination and work ethic that will get them far in life, not the exact school they attend.  
There are plenty of affordable ways to get an education. Stop whining that you cannot afford the elite school that 95%+ will get rejected from anyhow and focus on finding the right fit for your kid at the right price.  [/quote]
