[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Dalton has sent about a third of its graduates to the Ivy League. Ditto the Spence School. Harvard-Westlake, in Los Angeles, sent 45 kids to Harvard alone. Noble and Greenough School, in Massachusetts, did even better: 50 kids went on to Harvard.

So?

Many schools for the richest American kids have gates and security guards; the message is you are precious to us. Many schools for the poorest kids have metal detectors and police officers; the message is you are a threat to us.

Distinction without difference.

We wouldn't give rich kids and a tiny number of lottery winners an outstanding education while so many poor kids attend failing schools.

Who is this WE dimwit?

Nothing is GIVEN to these kids, their parents pay for it.

Plus they also pay an exorbitant amount for the poor kids to be educated by teachers who do not give a crap as long as they get paid.

Hmmm...so this is irrational?

But what makes these schools truly ludicrous is their recent insistence that they are engines of equity and even “inclusivity.” A $50,000-a-year school can’t be anything but a very expensive consumer product for the rich. If these schools really care about equity, all they need to do is get a chain and a padlock and close up shop.
