Only through a liberal's twisted thinking does $4500=$20000. Does that help?

Yeah, but I bet the $4500 school is not a "name" school that impresses her fellow liberal elite friends. There are plenty of options if getting a good education for her daughter- if that is the real goal, rather than acquiring another status symbol.

Besides, if one wanted to send their children to Harvard, a Manhatten prep school probably makes it harder, not easier- everyone applies, and schools like Harvard limit the number of New York prep school students they admit.

BINGO!
A much better way of putting it!
