<p>POIH, that’s a pretty strong accusation that you’re making – that southeasttitan’s parents really do make a lot of money but are cooking the books and playing poor for a few years to get FA that they really don’t need, being Ivy grads and all. What basis do you have to make that accusation, from what southeasttitan has described? </p>
<p>Or is it that you really don’t get that the purpose of an elite education (or any education) for that matter isn’t just about chasing the almighty dollar?</p>
<p>You know, you want your daughter to go to “the Ivies” because you’re SO impressed with the prestige. Because you learned somewhere back in India that there are only a handful of schools that count for anything, and the other schools are just nothing schools attended by nothing people, so it MUST be true.</p>
<p>Here’s a hint. If you want her to be comfortable with the true classy people in this country, they are far more impressed by people like southeasttitan’s parents, who have creative dreams and aspirations and didn’t just turn into corporate drones because they could, than some drone whose whole life goal is to get to an Ivy because it’s an Ivy and therefore the ticket to economic success.</p>
