Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin Charged in College Admissions Cheating Scheme

[sanantone]

These parents think their families are too good for CCs, Directional State U, and Podunk State U even though their kids are average, at best. One of Loughlin's daughters only wants to go to college to party. Aunt Becky and her husband wanted their daughters to go to college because they didn't.

Honestly, raising rich entitled spoiled kids is just the worst thing you can do to them.  I like to tell my kids "I can't care more about your life than you do."  They have to want this stuff, and to work really hard to get it (and maybe be disappointed if they don't).  They'll be better for it in the long run.  My son asked "so how much do you think it would cost to bribe me into the USNA?" And my answer was, zero, because even if it was $500, I wouldn't pay it.  You either get in on your merits or you don't, and figure something else out.

Also, if your kid can't get into a school because their grades aren't good enough or their SAT scores aren't high enough - how do they think those same students will fare at the school once they're in?  I'm guessing the bribery would have to continue, course by course, in order for them to graduate.  Good plan.

Grade inflation is common at the elite schools. Jared Kushner neither had the grades nor SAT scores to get into Harvard, but his father made a $2.5 million donation. Kushner graduated with honors during a year that an unusually high number of Harvard graduates got honors. The president's high school has, literally, hidden his school records so that current employees won't have access to them, and he won't release his SAT scores. His father probably paid his way into UPenn.
