Obama's daughter looking for college

What's amazing is that while her father and the secretary of education try to increase the amount of time spent in school, and pretty much advocate more of the current broken system, his daughters attend some fancy expensive school that teaches in a special way that isn't like the industrial remnant most schools adhere to.

I'm also generally just cynical of the whole thing. Being president's daughter, I find it unlikely any school would refuse her. I also don't think professors will be fine letting her fail. Course none of that matters because with the amount of support she probably gets in the white house from top-notch professionals, it's unlikely she ever did bad in school anyway.

Presidents, politicians, rich people...yech. Speak about improvement yet gladly take advantage of their status for "superior" opportunities. If they really want to help, instead of all that charity crap, they should try living like the common people.

Each generation of spoiled kid only creates another generation. I'm sure the clintons, bushes, obamas and mccains will be very understanding of the common folk up in their fancy country club we call Congress.

That's the problem. I wish people were equal, but private colleges are always pressing the same button. It's always the same bullshit : rich kids in private schools=awesome grades , comparing to public schools though ...(my experience in my country)

And the rich awesome grade folk always say "work hard! that's all you need!". My ass. They forget to mention daddy's bank account and those private tutors and SAT classes.

FFS look at this:

Quote:Michelle Obama's crusade, "Reach Higher," urges young people, especially the underprivileged, to continue their education after high school.

"You have to work your butts off," she reminded high-schoolers attending an "immersion day" at Georgetown University in 2011.

I'm finding more:

Quote:In a speech Dec. 4 in Washington, the first lady noted that kids start preparing for college "long before they even start high school" and singled out prep courses for the SAT and ACT exams and counselors who help with deadlines and edit essays for college applications.
