Yeah, millennials insisted on making the SATs part of the school's performance framework. They insisted on AP courses becoming part of the curriculum. They insisted on college recruiters taking trips to schools. They insisted on scholarship forms being in every admin office. Millennials demanded statistics lessons on the differences between college graduates and high schoolers in earning potential with zero time being given to the trades. Millennials were the cause of all this. Not their Boomer school administrators, Boomer bank CEOs, Boomer Politicians and Boomer parents.
College is expensive because every millenial INSISTED they get to go. The boomers spent a ton so they could go. This was not the case in the boomers day. They understood natural hierarchy and sorted themselves appropriately. Their big sin was liking their children too much.
