  1. Their NOT going to college either. There much smarter than you and realize what a scam the whole process is. From mom and dad sticking their ass in some overrated high school in northern NJ where they pay absolutely sky high taxes for what exactly? What? There not going to fall for it and as such its reflected in the numbers coming out. Good for them. Bad for you.
