While she and her husband both went to Yale, Vance does not feel the same for her children. When asked if she wanted her kids to attend Yale, Usha said, “It might be better to go with a smaller school, to counterbalance all of this pomp and circumstance.”
She also commented how reverberating politics is and how it's a volley of people saying something on one side and then the others replying to it. She shared that she was hesitant to expose her children to that.
It seems amidst all the limelight they are already growing up in, Vance as a mother hopes for a successful yet calm future for her kids where the outside noise is never a factor.
