nyt completeness theorem

At some point, they will have written every possible permutation of this story:
But competition for top middle schools has intensified as more families choose to remain in the city and others find themselves unable to afford private schools, and performance on fourth- and fifth-grade standardized tests is crucial to getting into one of those schools. So many parents — some wealthy, some not — are now shelling out hundreds and even thousands of dollars for tutors and for courses like the eight-week Saturday morning boot camp in TriBeCa. And that is on top of test preparation that almost all elementary schools now provide in class.
Or maybe this should be the nyt incompleteness theorem, and there will always be some new twist that can be put on the insanity of yuppie parents.
