The practice of the “back door” make me just as mad as the act that singer was doing. It shows that its not about academics or merits its about wealth. Many children growing up in wealthy families have all the opportunities afforded to them. To hear that some people are even prepping their kids starting in kindergarten is shocking. I believe that both are equally offensive the only difference is that Singer did it through sports and testing. The consequences for these actions are already here in the world we live in today. People have been doing this for years now. It is seen in some of the names of buildings or when you see certain celebrities or political family members all go to the same school. The effect is what you see today the gap between the rich and poor grow and the uneducated become larger. Overall, it is wrong, but the system had a strangle hold on the system it is impossible to break. As said in the podcast getting into college is not based on hard work and effort, but money and who you know.
