This stuff...

is not for sale!

A literal reader of the text might say...
1:18:13
A literal reader of the text might say...
1:18:16
that Goldilocks ate the "porridge"...
1:18:19
because she was "hungry."
1:18:23
But what would Freud say?
1:18:25
Language skills are a critical component
of childhood development.
1:18:29
They're part of the core curriculum
here at Chapman.
1:18:32
If you'll follow me this way.
1:18:35
On the path of life,
the proper first steps are essential.
1:18:39
With our firm guidance, your children...
1:18:43
will take those steps right here at Chapman.
1:18:46
Our philosophy is that
a child is like a climbing vine.
1:18:50
With structure to cling to,
and the right gardener to tend them...
1:18:53
- they'll grow to the sky.
- That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
1:18:58
We're not talking about plants,
we're talking about kids.
1:19:00
I know you don't want this woman pruning
and cutting and weeding your 3-year-olds.
1:19:05
Some people are uncomfortable
with achievement.
1:19:07
No, what I'm uncomfortable with
is treating a little kid like it's an adult.
1:19:12
If your kids come here, they'll be
miserable in four different languages.
1:19:15
Five. We start Portuguese in the fall.
1:19:20
How many languages
do you listen to them in?
1:19:22
You ever stop trying to shove knowledge
down their throat and just talk to them?
1:19:26
Listen to what they want.
1:19:27
They're children,
they don't know what they want.
1:19:29
Yes, they do know what they want.
All of them. And they're all different.
1:19:33
We took some time, talked to the kids,
got to know them a bit.
1:19:36
- It made a difference. It helped them.
- Please. Share your success.
1:19:40
Why don't you tell these people exactly
how you help their children?
1:19:49
Max over here is potty-trained now, okay?
1:19:52
- I don't miss.
- That's right.
1:19:53
- And Becca learned how to read.
- Yes, I did.
1:19:57
And Crispin is the most polite kid
you'd ever want to meet.
