School's Expensive Lesson
00:08:45
|
|
| So this school, by the way, guess what tuition at the school is? | |
| And they also have an elementary school. | |
| So the tuition is for all grades. | |
| You ready? | |
| Including third grade? | |
| Did you read what it was? | |
| $65,540 a year. | |
| Now, I would say that this is throwing money down the toilet, but I would be wrong. | |
| Because if you throw $65,000 down the toilet, if you flush it down the toilet, if you throw it down a drain, to use the truly appropriate verb, you are wasting the money, but you are not doing any harm to anyone. | |
| But if you send your child to the school, you are not only wasting your money, you are doing harm. | |
| Of course, many parents don't think that, needless to say, because people are sheep. | |
| Most people are. | |
| Oh, wow, $65,000, Riverdale, ethical culture. | |
| Can't beat that. | |
| What a combo. | |
| The principal of the upper school who sent it out was Stacy Bobo. | |
| Stacy Bobo is a... | |
| Woman. | |
| I would have bet that the principal was a woman, and I would have won the bet. | |
| She's the principal of the upper school. | |
| She said it acknowledges, ready? | |
| The Election Day support acknowledges that this may be a high-stakes and emotional time for our community. | |
| Do you realize these people talk in cliches? | |
| There isn't an original, sincere thought in their... | |
| Do they speak this way to, if they're married, to their husband? | |
| Do they speak this way to their friends? | |
| This is a high stakes and emotional time for our community. | |
| There are more words, you'll love it, that are... | |
| Are completely representative of the left-wing robots. | |
| No matter the election outcome, she wrote, the school will quote, here's the other example, the whole letter, I'm sure, exemplified robotic left-wing thinking or expression. | |
| The school, quote, will create space. | |
| Does she say create space in having dinner with her girlfriends? | |
| You think she does? | |
| Do you know anyone, has anyone in your life ever said create space? | |
| The moment I hear create space, I know it's a leftist. - Right. | |
| I presume, but it's not necessarily at all, because male leftists will do this, just there are more women representative of this. | |
| The school will create space to provide students with the support they may need. | |
| Yes, students, you poor things come from homes that can afford $65,000 wasted dollars on this school, but you poor things You will be distressed by the election. | |
| And so we have the psychologists, and we will create space for you. | |
| I presume that they will be given playthings, right? | |
| Remember? | |
| What was it? | |
| In safe spaces. | |
| That's what they do. | |
| They give you Play-Doh and hot chocolate, and you watch films of frolicking puppies. | |
| Oh, and kittens. | |
| I don't want to miss that. | |
| It's a very interesting point from my technical director. | |
| He hopes they get the day off. | |
| That means that Donald Trump won. | |
| And more important, it means that the Democrats lost. | |
| Which is my preoccupation. | |
| No homework will be assigned on Election Day, the email said, and no student assessments will take place on Wednesday. | |
| Excused absences will be allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced, which may well be a week later, in large measure because for reasons that no one has ever explained to me, therefore I assume bad motives. | |
| We went from paper ballots to computers. | |
| You can't hack paper ballots. | |
| You can hack computers. | |
| Why would we do that? | |
| I know the answer, but I won't tell you. | |
| No, I can't say I know it. | |
| I suspect the answer. | |
| The answer is located in the question. | |
| Excused absences will be allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced for students who feel unable to, quote, fully engage in classes. | |
| Fully engage. | |
| That's up there with Create Spaces. | |
| It's up there with Our Community. | |
| This is all from the New York Times. | |
| Gwen Rocco, a spokeswoman for the school, another woman, declined to comment on the email. | |
| If you're the spokeswoman of the school, why would you decline to comment on an email from the head of the school? | |
| Isn't that odd? | |
| Yes, they mentioned something else that I wanted to read to you, but I did not... | |
| I did not get it. | |
| Oh, yeah, I didn't highlight this, but I think I should nevertheless share it with you. | |
| John Couchman, who has two daughters in the upper school, a sophomore and a senior, said he thought the plan for the election was commendable. | |
| I just want you to know, I'll bet most of the parents think it was, quote, commendable, unquote. | |
| I think it's absolutely the right decision, said Mr. Couchman, who works in finance. | |
| These students are very astute. | |
| The praising of these young people by leftists is so false, so unearned, so representative. | |
| Of flawed thinking. | |
| These students are very astute. | |
| Well, that's an interesting thing. | |
| They're very astute. | |
| But what if they're divided on the election? | |
| What if, let's say, one-third of the students, maybe less, but let's say one-third of the students are pro-Trump. | |
| Are they astute as well? | |
| Can you have equally astute people, have opposite views on everything important? | |
| Do you know that nobody described me or my classmates when I was in high school as very astute? | |
| Had somebody said to me, you're astute, I would have said, really? | |
| I haven't met any stutes. | |
| I think their rights are on the line. | |
| Oh, this is apparent. | |
