Are you selling stuff online?
And they learn how to reach out and they DM people on Twitter and are like, one thing we found is super successful adults over invest in ambitious teens.
And so all these kids are out getting help from adults in order to do it because you can't hire a teacher staff who can do all that.
Okay, I'm going to say the most controversial thing I think of the talk right now.
Which is, there's three things that if I could wave a magic wand...
and get every parent in America to believe, because they don't believe it today.
If out of this podcast, this was the outcome, this would do more to change education than anything.
The first thing is, your kid must love school.
We've talked about it, and they should want to go to school instead of going on vacation.
If every parent believed that, that would be critical to changing it.
The second is, your kid can crush their academics in two hours a day.
You cannot think and subject your kid to six hours a day plus homework.
We need to stop that two hours a day.
And then the third, this is the controversial one about this and that we've learned is the key to your child's happiness is high standards.
And that is the controversial part, which is kids want to do awesome stuff.
Kids think they're awesome.
Kids are awesome.
And parents are very worried.
Naturally, they care about safety and
They worry about their kids trying and failing.
