From preconception strategies to the farce that is community service, Monagan’s theories and suggestions are so outrageous they just might work. Monagan’s unorthodox techniques and manufactured wisdom include gems like:?Marry your child’s college counselor?Proactively name your child (Rockefeller? Elihu?)?Buying the SATs
