| sakky, your argument about parents valuing education....doesn't match with your conclusion. For example, mootmom values education. One of her kids goes to MIT and one goes to a school many have not heard of. I believe mootmom values the education at both colleges for both of her kids. Speaking for myself, I would have valued and paid the same for the education of my kids no matter which school they had picked....Podunk, Ivy, MIT, no name U. I highly value education. But it doesn't matter to me which school my kids attend. I only want them to be happy with their chosen schools and for that, I am ever so grateful that they picked the perfect schools for them. Their experiences have been invaluable and worth every penny of debt that I am now in to make this happen for them. |
