Quote from Hydroblunt:
I suggest that students should be evaluated based on their abilities and not whether their parents can afford to pay some service thousands of dollars. Or whether they are connected or can afford to get into Ivy Leagues.
This is just another sign that USA is headed toward third world status and is similar of Brazil and Mexico, where only children of the upper class have any real opportunity.
are you out of your mind, or merely attending too many socialist of the world unite meetings??
if anything, this new program opens up the ivy gates to a much wider audience.
abilities?? most everyone's got talent and ability in some fashion--what they don't have is ACCESS---these programs provide access for a pittance--it's win win for everyone.
upper class?? heck, if a kid wanted to have a shot at an ibank--he could work at mc donalds for the summer, save up 6k, and get an internship. what could be more proletariat?
