It's actually a big thing. Crazy expensive. You have to pay for the coaching. Then you have to pay for the trips to debates where you win resume padding awards. At one point this was how you got into Ivy League schools, but I think that are mostly wise to this now, and it's become more if a scam to take advantage of parents with too much money.
I don't think it's off topic as it directly relates to the urge if parents to see their kids succeed in extra curricular activities. |
It’s a bit excessive to pay for private torturing.
