Yes, I get it.
And most of these schools go through the really good ones in New York City.
Right.
And it's creating this false sense of financial security and ego for these kids who are walking around like they're all, you know, like too big for their britches.
At least they go through fifth grade and the most kids filter into the private school system and they're set up for success with that.
But the system needs to be smashed.
Because you say, you know, take that 70K and invest it.
We're saying, yeah, your granddad founded X, Y, or Z thing, right?
For most people, they don't have the 70K, right, or that they would be taking out loans to be able to do this and putting themselves into debt.
Or your grandparents came from, or your great grandparents, this incredible immigrant class and was able to pass down this wealth so you could go to this school.
But there has to be a real reckoning.
But what are you going to make of it?
Of course, people at the top, they're going to go to the Harvards and the Yales of the world.
And this goes back to the Epstein class.
You know, formulation, right, where you just say it shouldn't be this way.
But there are plenty of kids are going to go to just...
average schools right colleges out of this and then i'm thinking you know you spent hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars for them to probably not have as good of a or as fun certainly or well-rounded experience while they were in school and they ended up at exactly the same place with no guarantee that they're going to have a better job when they're coming out of it
And a majority of people who are doing this and this is happening in cities all across the country.
It's not just New York City.
It's because their parents have generational wealth that they can help them.
