What's in a name? With all the college buzz this week, I've grown furstrated with the way some parents are acting, namely the Asian ones. Simply because their children were not accepted to Ivy Leagues, does that make the children any less valuable? All the pressure that is put on in getting accepted into an Ivy League school is absolutley ridiculous. Getting into an Ivy does not gauarantee you wealth. It does not gaurantee success. It does not gaurantee happiness. It does not gaurantee anything more than giving your parents something to boast about. If you don't do anything with that Ivy League education, then what's the point? 10 years after you graduate and you still don't have a job, who's going to care that you went to an Ivy? Clearly, you didnt get much out of it. It's not like someone in a non-Ivy League isn't going to have a future. I'm frustrated with the parents that aren't happy with their children for getting into a top 30 school because, God forbid, it's not an Ivy League. I find it ironic that they find it in their place to criticize their children when they lack a college education themselves. I'm not calling the parents stupid, but their notions of college are largely vicarious and do not mean chicken shit. Parents need to be put in their place because, quite honestly, they're getting a little out of control with this college business.

Anonymous said...: I agree with that. When I was choosing a college a few years ago my grandparents behaved like that. What ended up being true for me was that I gained a lot from my education because I put a lot into it. Commitment and drive will take you to the top regardless of who hands you your degree.; 10:01 PM
