That ivy league article was fascinating. My husband went Ivy, and I went to an expensive, private, top 10 engineering school. Back in the 80's, when the distribution was normal. And of course, we both went into the military.
The college application process these days? It's kind of scary. I see the whole privilege thing, and the desire to get your kid into all the right places, and it freaks me out. We so aren't into that.
I hear you Marcia. The market for an "elite education" appears to have changed dramatically over the years. On some level I guess it's the ultimate form of branding--for both the children AND the parents. But the cost just doesn't seem to make sense any more.
I thought that article was really sobering.
