I posted that in the "Alternatives to Higher Ed" thread. I think those yuppies really live that way, based on what I've seen. Tons of UMC parents have their kids in year-round travel sports. Tons are banking on a scholarship, even if it only means admission.The Mad, Mad World of Niche Sports Among Ivy League–Obsessed Parents

I judge the article fake, but accurate. lol.We decided to assign Barrett this freelance story in part because more than two decades separated her from her journalistic malpractice at The New Republic and because in recent years her work has appeared in reputable magazines. We took into consideration the argument that Barrett deserved a second chance to write feature stories such as this one. We were wrong to make this assignment, however. It reflects poor judgment on our part, and we regret our decision.
