Well-rounded is not valued at all.

And it's the same with these academics.

If someone's like struggling on their SAT or on their math test, if they don't actually have a problem giving them an extra hour to take it so they can get a little bit better grades, so they can get into a little bit better college,

is backward.

You should be teaching them how are you going to survive in the world?

But no one is, no longer is anyone chasing...

a goal for their kids of how am I going to prepare this person for life?

How are they going to be strong and self-sufficient, provide for themselves?

It's all geared around a college application for an Ivy League school.

As if that degree is your make or break ticket.

That's why they play lacrosse 500 hours a month or squash or whatever it is.

It's all about college.

It's not about a great experience for my kid or my kid enjoying a rounded life.

We're all so screwed up with all of this college stuff.

It's really perverted everything.

Yeah, but has a little money.

So they get a doctor's note that says he has this problem.

It's diagnosed.

You just have to hope that...

After college, when Junior with the note went to Cornell and someone else without the note went to Syracuse.
