40. good
We ought to gloss over the "money part," especially if it has anything to do with the ideas you are expressing here.

The "best education money could buy?" And "entitled?"

Education is a commodity now? People need to be entitled to an education? And money is the way they become entitled?

You are not talking about education, you are talking about something else altogether. You are talking about some sort of social mechanism for the creation and preservation of an aristocracy. Your sentiments contradict the concept and purpose of public education, which makes your commodity worthless by any serious measurement. Worthless to society, that is - perhaps very valuable for you personally.

I will take a person who glosses over the "money part" any day over a person who so glibly glosses over the "human being" and "social conscience" parts.
