‘Continued has too many comments. So we are starting fresh. The controversy of the day is “The college cheating scandal”.<\/p>\n
Oh. Boy. I read one set of parents paid Singer in excess of $1,000,000 to get their kid in… somewhere. (Yale?) All I can think is the motivation was the parents bragging rights<\/i> rather than the kid. If I had 1 million burning a whole in my pocket and was willing to just spend “on the kid”, I’d look into setting up a trust making the kid the beneficiary with a rule that the kid can only collect 4% of assets + 0.1%*(age-18) a year. Or something like that. Obviously, I’d have to talk to someone about what’s allowed. But really with that<\/i> much money, the kid has options and doesn’t really need<\/i> Yale for anything other than bragging rights. I can’t help but think it’s the parents<\/i> who wanted to brag more than the kid.<\/p>\n
Oh… well..<\/p>\n
