Parents using footballers' costly mistakes to teach kids value of study
Original: Going to explain and use this a lot to my 12 years old to explain to him why studying and reading and culture in general
An Italian researcher says he plans to use the example of super-rich footballers to teach his 12-year-old son why studying, reading and culture matter, arguing players can lose millions of euros simply through lack of knowledge. He is sharing the lesson widely as a way of showing that wealth alone does not protect against ignorance, and that education pays off even at the top of professional sport.
Why now: A widely shared argument that education matters even for extremely wealthy athletes is resonating with parents and educators.
