I think one of the sadder parts is that the parents of these kids know they’ve raised idiots.

- gdulli 8y agoIt may not be that. These people live a lifestyle of status symbols over substance. It's important to be seen as having kids with a certain kind of success. They could feel pressured to buy success for their kids as insurance despite feeling their kids are smart. It could also be that these people got the same sort of help from their own parents. And therefore to them this is just standard behavior divorced from any context of morality or the child's true development.
