Gurley says college prep system evolved so everyone feels forced to play resume-building game starting in sixth grade.
“I don't think there's anybody that's intentionally making wrong decisions, but the system has evolved to a place where everyone feels like they have to play the game.”
Gurley says competitive parents start building resumes by sixth grade with programmed activities, citing Haidt's resume arms race concept.
“by the time you're in sixth grade, if you're a kid, you know, in a in a competitive environment with competitive parents, they're like, you know, okay, we gotta start pound building that resume.”
