Forbes.com posted a story yesterday about an earth shattering discovery: there are these crazy things called “prep schools”!

Perhaps we’re being assholes, but isn’t the existence of prep schools, like, pretty much common knowledge? We half expect Forbes to write about something called the “Ivy League” and “parochial schools” next week.

In addition to a slideshow of some prep schools, the piece offers wonderful insights such as, “The Ivy League is still the Ivy League.” The rest of the article can basically be summed up as such: Prep schools are private! They can be famous! They have pretty campuses! Rich people go there! But so do poor people! They have famous alumni! They send their kids to the Ivy League! But so do public schools!

The most obnoxious part of the article is at the end:

But at the end of the day, writing Harvard or Princeton on your résumé really does mean something. So does what prep school you attended.

Okay, we can only hope writing “Princeton” on our résumé “really does mean something.” Because with grade deflation and the Great Depression 2.0, we’re just sure our prep school education will come in real handy.
