It's a big question. You could also argue that the poor student has an unfair advantage for being born with better intelligence, and the money is helping even that out.
- Clamchop 3y agoYou could but you shouldn't.
- bumby 3y agoSure. But it would also acknowledge we’re not optimizing for intellectual ability. Now which of these do you think most of society would have a problem with: 1) College should optimize admissions for intellect. 2) College ships optimize admissions for familial wealth.
- stevage 3y agoYou could also frame it as a dichotomy between rich kids money spent to either: 1. provide tutoring so they can go to university 2. Do something frivolous like learning to sail.
- bumby 3y agoBut that implies the rich kid has the choice, no? That, in itself, is part of the disparity. This is such a weird, odd take to defend.
