Comment of the Day: The Case for Expensive Tutors
Today we heard that even the tutors can't believe how much they're paid to teach the young ladies and lordlings of America. I mean, it's ridiculous! What's the point? Well, actually, there is quite a point, argued one commenter.
You're scoffing at rich kids having tutors? Those are jobs being created, people!
If the parents of Shiblee Van Duseldorf want to spend $400 an hour on a tutor for their super-talented, angelic, social butterfly of a special snowflake genius, then they have every right to!
Who else is going to babysit Shiblee while he or she curls up in the corner of the room with their iphone? The maid? She's too busy trying to shake Mrs. Van Duseldorf out of a xanax coma. The butler? He's substituting for Mr. Van Duseldorf's golf caddy because Mr. Van Duseldorf scared him off when he tried to give him a blowjob.
After all, these tutors are helping to mold the minds of the young super rich. Because the minds of their parents are already smeared on the marble wall, along with vomit, pinot grigio and the back-sweat of the gardener from when he rocked Mrs. Van Duseldorf's world that one torrid afternoon.
