But we cant acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So weve contrived various【 C2】 _that turn

11、out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there wont be enough trophies to go around.

16、 may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph. D. program. High scores on the Graduate Record Exam helped explain who got in; Ivy League degrees didnt. So, parents, lighten up. The stakes have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can【 C9】 _our pushin
