I think that in the past before parents were caught many of them would say that it was worth it. Now however, I believe most of them would say it is not worth it. Although their punishments may not be severe enough it is now public knowledge that their children didn't earn their way in to the schools in question. This permanently damages the reputation of the school and the student. Again, my biggest issue with this podcast is the choice of words and the title. This scandal is in no way related to capitalism. This is criminal activity, not capitalism. In The last podcast I think the punishment for simply sending your child to a school out of district is way to severe and doesn’t fit the crime. In the first example if the young woman’s children had been star athletes, I’m certain that sending her children to school out of district would have been overlooked. This scenario happens all the time.
