Education is something that is priceless, but with
the latest coming out from the celebrities it seems that it really is not. Most
Americans receive a free public education, while others choose to send their
children to a free charter or private schools that they pay for. Either way we know
that we have a choice in what we want or wanted for ourselves and our children.
Everyone in life is not made the same, from the same environment or even able
to have some of the same experiences that others are able to receive.
Our choices in roadmaps lead us to different avenues
sometimes benefiting in some way better than those that receive the hundred thousand
dollar education, as Rosemarie Jackowski stated in her blog, schools
scams and scoundrels http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/rosemarie-jackowski/83896/schools-scams-and-scoundrel.
She talks about back in the 40’s how her second grade educated father taught engineering
students and was always called upon when in need for things to get done.
A lot of us have oriented new
employees or given information on how to when others who actually in charge have
no clue. How frustrating is it to know that the person who should know doesn’t actually
know anything, or scammed to figure her way into her position? This new scandal
with colleges and celebrity rich people isn’t new. Like she said things like
this have been going on for decades, but those with money are privileged with opportunities
and their kids probably don’t care or even want to go to college.
Sadly, while we struggle and stress over SAT testing and
trying to get in the college of our dreams, rich kids get the option to say
where and their parents make it happen. The big question now is, what is
actually going to happen to them now that they have been put on blast? The only
reason they will get any time is because its been blasted in front of the
entire national news channels. My thinking a slap on the wrist or a “Martha Stewart”
jail cell.
Only time will tell what happens
to these snooty better off folks, in the meantime we should ask ourselves what brought
this forward to begin with?
