People are mad, because that happiness comes at their expense. Not because rich people prep their kids per se, but because society is a zero-sum game in many ways, and the end result is a de facto caste system. People are often willing to endure unfair hardships, if their children get a better chance. But if they know that not even their great-grandchildren are likely to be significantly better off, the focus shifts back to here and now.

Test prep doesn't help with any of that.
I get that college admissions is a contest and performative but hot damn this thread is full of people mad at other people's happiness.
