Manchester Music School Report Follows Teacher Conviction

I feel like this is something that has gotten continuously worse over the years too. Kids who never get to just play, but are fully booked with one after-school activity after another. Teens are under constant pressure to spend their time doing things that look good on college applications. College-aged young adults are about filling out the resume or getting into the best graduate school programs, only to graduate into jobs that expect them to always be on call, to learn and grow themselves on their own time, all while social media culture tells them they should also have a side-hustle or three.

Having fun is time that could be spent on any of these accomplishments.

I’d flip that around. What’s the point of all of those accomplishments if you never have any fun?
