Teaching in a mostly affluent high school, I see what happens to those overscheduled kids. It doesn't stop until they get into the best of colleges, and even then it continues. Many of the parents are overscheduled too. With all of the new technology available and the lives people are leading, it's a wonder how many families even talk to each other. Love and attention would get these kids much farther in life than these play counselors. I find this all so sad, even though I chuckled when I first saw it. |
