When I taught, I mentioned to one of my kid's parents that he would benefit from an academic tutor on the weekends, and you'd have thought I was from another planet.
They'd spend thousands to improve their son's chances of becoming a home-town athletic hero, but not a nickel to improve his long-term academic success in college.
A friend of mine married a girl from Venezuela. She went to college in England before coing to America. They got married here then went to meet the family and her friends. He said it was like being in a Univision Soap Opera. All her friends were more beautiful than the next. and ALL were absolutely insane!
