Oh cmon, I think it’s a kid although I don’t know why they would be on a parents site.

One thing they got wrong is better schools have better students. That’s not the case for every student.

But just because it’s better to go to a more prestigious college doesn’t mean that students at more prestigious colleges are better. I mean, they’re better students, just not better people.

I don’t fault employers for preferring to hire applicants from better colleges, but I wish the general public could understand the difference between opportunity and worth.
