What about the kids who don't have wealthy parents to "help" them?The children of wealthy people are not entitled to attend a selective school regardless of their abilities or talents. Wealthy parents are not entitled to bribe, cheat, and defraud the system to get their under-qualified children into these schools. Of course the blame does not fall solely on the parents, but also on the coaches and university employees who accepted bribes and participated knowingly in the fraud. And I feel sorry for any student who was unaware of their parents' scheming, but those who participated themselves deserve to be expelled from the school (which has already happened in some cases, a girl who lied about sailing achievements on her application was recently expelled from Stanford).The real misfortune is that this has been going on for a long time and it took this long for it to be exposed. As someone who was accepted the honest way, earned two degrees, and now works a... less

Inside, that would result in a temperature of about 55 (I don't run the heater at night). That's cold enough for me to want some extra blankets.It's true that for 75% of the year (or more) I only need the one comforter over me.

As a grad student, one of my jobs was to read assignments and grade them for professors. I put a lot of effort into doing so, but I was also trying to impress the professor and remain in good standing. Without that motivation, I could see letting some of those papers run together in my mind. Grading can be a tedious process. But I would at least read it!
