But I will tell you, that most people are not going to think too highly of a parent who can afford to pay his kid's Harvard tuition, and refuses to do so or will only give enough so that it is difficult for the kid to be able to go.

<p>I remember when I took an ethics class and we dicussed that one should live their life in a way that if it were reported ton the front page of the paper, hyou could still hold your head up.</p>
<p>Imagine this parent beaming with pride saying "my daughter got admitted to Harvard, Columbia and MIT but I am not going to give one additional dime to help her attend any of these schools." It's not going to happen because he most likely will never public say it. But hey, there is no prision worse than the one you put your self in".. She won't always be 18 and he may not always be rolling in the dough.</p>
