College admissions scandal: Even if you could give your kid everything, should you?
|
"Parents have always wanted to help their kids succeed. Those with more (more wealth, more education, more time) have the opportunity, and option, to do more. But even if you could give your kid everything, should you? I propose another: fostering in kids the sense that
this is their life."

“I think parenting puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in, and if you can’t stand up to those principles when you’re raising a child, forget it.
You have to be your best self, always, and be honest.”
