This is a refreshing article, with one point I have to quibble with. "Attachment parenting" is absolutely, totally, completely, entirely unrelated to academic research on attachment theory. "Attachment parenting" was created by a pairs of doctors, William & Martha Sears, who originally called it "immersion parenting".
Great post. I'm reading Jeffrey Seelingo's new book Dream School (his previous book was Who Gets In and Why) and it's all about this idea that prestige is overrated & the best school for your kid is frequently not the best school "on paper."
Brilliant takedown of this system. The shift toward southern universities feels inevitable once people realized prestige doesnt guarantee career outcomes anymore. I experienced someting similar at a hiring conference last year where employers admitted they care less about where candidates went and more about real skills and adaptability. Economic disruptions kinda forced everyone's hand on that one.
