Rich Kids Act Like Jerks. No one surprised.

Except for some of the commentators on the piece:

NY Magazine on Horace Mann School in NY

Thanks to cbackson I bring you this link about rich kids and their parents acting like jerks. Whatever you think about the article I feel rather strongly that the comments by people who claim to be current or past students of Horace Mann pretty much prove the author's point about the toxic nature of the institution. Most of them seem incapable of admitting that there might be anything remotely wrong with doing or saying of the things these students did. Instead, they seem curiously attached to the idea that Facebook is private space and appalled that anyone would read nasty comments they wrote on it. Based on that misapprehension alone, I feel the parents should be wondering what sort of education their kids are getting. (Schools get sued over things their students wrote on the internet about students so pretty much every school that can afford it does some internet monitoring of their students.)
