As a parent this is my sentiment. When I compare my parents middle class lifestyle to my own now, there is a lot I would not have been able to accomplish without direct financial support from them. Now I dread that I will hardly be able to do the same for my kids or even prepare for retirement.

I've always viewed the SAT prep classes as a differentiator in outcomes. The College Board always said no until recently. Even though colleges say the SAT is not important I would argue it still is. It could be the difference between attending Stanford vs not.

If it wasn't important, they wouldn't include it in applications.
