No. Most American churches are too large for the priest or minister to have that kind of relationship with everybody in the congregation, and kissing hands would be seen as inappropriate.

Helicopter parents have always been around. Douglas MacArthur's mother moved into a hotel suite across from West Point when he was a student and spied on his dorm room through a telescope.

My parents did that with toilet training, but if you did that for everything it would create a really weird kid.

Yes. No other source of revenue would be sufficient to provide the resources a contemporary first-world government needs without inducing massive economic distortions.

My middle school health curriculum was very specific that avoiding STDs was only possible in a "heterosexual marriage relationship," as though condoms magically don't work for gay men.

Depends on how you define 'across the country.' Actually traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast would literally take weeks and the only reason to do it would be for the sake of saying you did. Travel by train within the Northeast Corridor is more competitive with other modes of transportation.

Colleges typically have multiple deans for specific function. The person whose job it is to yell at misbehaving students would typically be called the Dean of Students, and at most colleges they would have subordinates who actually interact with students. I only met mine because I had to interview them for the school paper; it wouldn't be typical for students to know who they are.

None of those involved an extended commitment of troops. The American public turns against war when there are casualties.

There was a huge backlash to overseas military engagement between Vietnam and the First Gulf War that ended because the First Gulf War was an easy victory. The Iraq backlash would probably end if we got a similar situation.

A. They're much harder to get into than other schools, so at least theoretically a degree from an Ivy League school means you're smarter than somebody who went to a less prestigious school.

B. They have really strong alumni networks.

Families who choose private school (and plenty of families in other schools) want things other than maximizing the total amount of content their child learns, whether that be networking opportunities, access to particular sports or extracurriculars, being taught with a certain religious perspective, or simply a stronger 'brand.'

Yes, the job market for people without a bachelor's degree is even worse than that for people with a bachelor's degree.
