If you combine this with yesterday's piece about "therapy culture", what you get is a group of coastal elites who want as many of "their kinds" of kids to get into Ivy League schools as possible. That's what drove the "back to school" "movement" during the pandemic, too.

This article reminds me of the article that @minakimes.bsky.social wrote in 2016 about Drew Brees and Advocare. There's a long history of athletes partnering with grifters.

I am certainly defensive because I am married to a therapist, but this piece is a mess. And that she waits until she's 90% done to mention that she was raised in an Orthodox Jewish community is unfortunate.

Completed all my mandatory university trainings with 3 hours to spare. Now I know to report someone who put evidence of their sexual harassment on a thumb drive. I think I got that summary right.
