Should You Treat Your Children Equally?

But if a child simply doesn’t achieve at a superstar sibling’s level, I’d still pay the same amount for each education. For example, I wouldn’t tell the superstar to apply anywhere but the other to look only at instate publics because “she can get a teaching degree anywhere” (as is often said on this board, though not by me). I’d spend roughly the same amount on each child’s education – not to the penny, but roughly – as long as each child was making good progress.
