"Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"

  On March 12, 2019, The Editorial Board wrote an opinion on the New York Times Calling it "Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"
   On the post, the editorial board talked about how many wealthy parents were caught in a fraud administrative scam. Where they were paying many employees, staff including coaches thousands of dollars to accept their children into elite schools such as Stand-ford, Georgetown, UCLA and even Yale University. The Editorial board mention "This is infuriating for parents and students who chose to play by the rules in seeking college admissions" briefly explaining how merit is not defined on a test but in artistic talents of other forms not closely correlated with grades.
   The author/s of this opinion was to inform people who might not know what money can really buy. It was not surprising to me that this news comes out to the world. I'm content that wealthy people are getting exposed to this behavior, connections and money can take you to many places. But when it comes to honesty, trust, and loyalty especially when it affects the country, can become tempting for some of us.
