Children Are Grown, but Parenting Doesn’t Stop........................

If kids see their parents cutting corners or even cheating (god forbid) what is the use of sending kids to the best colleges. Just be a decent parent that is enough. If you have no money even better.


From The NYT:

Bribing SAT proctors. Fabricating students’ athletic credentials. Paying off college officials. The actions that some wealthy parents were charged with Tuesday — to secure their children a spot at elite colleges — are illegal and scandalous. But they’re part of a broader pattern, albeit on the extreme end of the continuum: parents’ willingness to do anything it takes to help their grown children succeed.

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”
