rich parents in Manhattan are now paying up to four hundred dollars an hour to
hire
these recreation experts for their children so all other children
our sole busy with all the extracurriculars whether it's violin
or piano or some other physical activity or sport
that they don't know how to handle themselves in social situations
so up there is a company that takes these
3- to 5-year-olds and it helps them I'm sorry four-year-olds 325 four-year-olds
and it helps them
up play in certain social situations together and
together and learn how to interact with one another and how to be appropriate in
a social setting
the reason why they're doing this is not because they're really worried about the
well-being of their kids they wanna make sure their kids are popular
they want to do this because it's very competitive to get these kids into some
other private schools
so they don't wanna leave any stone unturned is
unbelievable I yeah there are there's a lot here I know you're
your feelings on the school system so my my brother does live on the Upper East
to a New York City and has a three year old and a newborn and height so I know
first hand how hard it is to get these kids in school that you don't want to go
into public schools
so you have to get them into good private schools because it kinda money
gotta go on these waiting lists and Eva
18 interviews and be prepped and it's all completely insane
that doesn't defend any other but I think we all know how people just get
caught up in the societal things
and if your kid is in doesn't have an iPad by the time their three years old
and know how to do every you know equation and
be brilliant that absolutely everything and play the violin and basketball
and everything else that my god that has screwed there was
a blog written in the Huffington Post by a parent
it was a male parent and he was giving advice to
new parents anyone who's thinking about having kids and it was the best advice
I've ever read on parenting now mind you I don't have kids my own but I hope that
I will
adopting this mentality when I do have kids or if I have kids
calm the fuck down yeah point of his entire blog and I totally understand of
course you want your kids
to go to elite schools but it by
by suffocating them with all these extracurriculars
and and recreation coaches and all that stuff its
it's not good for their mental well-being okay to having
like it expert teach them how to handle themselves in social settings
when they're only four years old can be productive yet do that with their 35
that's what has people he did you know that you're writing your four
no the CEO of this company Aristotle Circle
us said the following: given admission rates to leak in our gardens are so low
parents don't wanna leave anything to chance experts said the kids may need
the played a tutoring because their young lives have become so regimented
with classes in subjects like Mandarin and violin
that they don't know well how to play with others
sleep what for your oldest learning Mandarin and playing the violin
I mean I think manner is important I would not make is that he got a large
and varied like 10 years
like I i don't have kids I mean I guess
maybe somebody's kindergartens are like they're looking at the the applicants
and saying that the kids we had about letting him and maybe they are doing
that
but it just seems like with each species has
in states like a baby deer very quickly after being born knows how to walk so
can keep up with Mom
baby monkey knows how to grab on so doesn't fall from a tree
and I would imagine that to teach three to four year olds how to socialize
you would put them in a group and then that's it
they just you put them in the group and they play and they talk
is that what they do it and I'm wrong I don't have kids but it seems like that's
the end step
they play with each other well it seems that you're actually teaching them to be
antisocial and we're not to be social because to be socially you would just
put them in a room or put them at the playground in a sandbox 11 get to it and
if they're being antisocial use a smack him around a little
you got to smack you
put on a diff erent yeah I was obviously kidding
social you're not here to give that is a legal yeah and from Papa
I called anyway as steve did you wanna jump in I know your children are
learning Mandarin
did you try it myself burning down out but they're learning I
violin swimming archery
I archery robotics and
some are a few other things robotics so they trying to replace you
know they for my parents love my my youngest one the seven-year-old she's
taking this
have super cool legos robotics class that that's where they used legos
and I little motors to build robots and the program their allies the simple
tasks
LD do is the use da block programming where someone sorry pre-programmed the
blocks
and then and this is kinda strings the blocks together and then later on issues
order she writes the code herself anti eventually
you know they dispense with their legos altogether everything's on a computer
module
super nerdy I'll be back you might see loves it
I fuck anyway you know the problem is here the problem is that
we live in a society now where there was an expert and Evans consultant
anything any situation can be resolved by just having the right Expert
I and saw the pictures of as an expert
any Kailua niche area you'll find some suckers will pay for
so now we have life coaches we have up counselors who helped his get
from college from high school to college and this sells well
in metropolitan areas like LA New York where there's a finite number so caught
Austin schools like you know I preschools & kindergarten
and become an expert I getting kids into those
I elite schools and make our money doing it so I mean I heard on the radio
this woman who she's a consultant on happy
teaching kids how to get from one elite private school to another and eventually
the college
she makes between two and three thousand dollars a year ha making
you know working not that many hours I just like her
you know it I they don't deny social essence
