Nobody in the media seems to wonder what the effect of this fraud is on the students. These kids are learning that their parents are dissatisfied with them as people. They are junior-college material, evidently, but their parents want an Ivy-League kid.

And what's going to happen to them when they are thrown in with students who are more intelligent and more sophisticated? Not just once in a while, but almost all the time? I can take a guess - alcohol, drugs, gravitating towards the other misfits, and even suicide come to mind.
