That’s wonderful for her and your family. However, it lends credence to the notion that BS is for the privileged. Most kids can’t just say “Hey Mom and Dad, I want more for my education so I want you to pay for my education even though you don’t need to.” Now, there is nothing wrong with that. More power to you! But there is a negative connotation with that type of privilege and financial security because the overwhelming majority of people don’t have that.

I don’t think anyone has problems with the education aspect of it, it’s the social elite aspect of it. Many people have negative views of those who have a higher socioeconomic status than them, and yet aspire to be those people anyway.
