Unacceptable with Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz

This week on the Mimosas with Moms Podcast, Abbey welcomes Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz the coauthors of Unacceptable: Privilege, Deceit, and the Making of the College Admissions Scandal. In their book they depict the Varsity Blues scandal as a cautionary tale for parents, a reminder of the dangers when mom and dad get too involved in trying to fix everything for their kid, and what happens when parents equate their own success with their kids’ accomplishments, like admission to particular colleges. What drove these parents to participate in the scheme, and are some of their motivations relatable? Let's talk about it, CHEERS! ——————————————— You can find Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Unacceptable-Privilege-College-Admissions-Scandal/dp/0593087720 Twitter: @melissakorn @jenniferlevitz Instagram: @melissashira @jenniferlevitz ——————————————— Instagram @mimosaswithmoms FB /mimosaswithmoms Email 2mimosamoms@gmail.com
