<p>BTW Wanderlusting: Why do you equate the cost of a school, people’s ability to pay the tuition with being shallow? May I suggest that you have a little checkbook envy? It would seem to me that somewhere, someone had/has the smarts/initiative and economic saavy to amass the amount of money necessary to pay that tuition they might be driven to accomplish? And the children of privilege sometimes (not always certainly) are equally interested in success. And as a parent I think that it sometimes endemic of teenagers, regardless of income to be shallow, at least for awhile.</p>
