<p>Who says? Hunt and I clearly are hard-wired like this. We ourselves went to elite schools, met our spouses there, we enjoyed our time, all else being equal we wanted our children to enjoy similar experiences, assuming they were academically qualified and so inclined, which they were. We saw no reason to have them go to “lesser” schools to make some kind of point. Over and out. </p>
