How To Upset Parents,

in one easy lesson,


drop your kid off at school in a 488 Ferrari! a Chinese man has been excluded out of a parents WeChat group and accused of flaunting his wealth by dropping his son off to school in an expensive Ferrari 488 sports car, the man, surnamed Li, is a senior executive in an property development company in Hangzhou, China, and has the habit of taking his junior pupil son to school in a Ferrari 488, this didn’t sit to well with the parents of the other kids in his son’s class, and Li was recently told by a teacher that he had received complaints about it, apparently, some of the other parents were worried that it would lead to unhealthy comparisons between the kids in class and prevent them from developing fellowship, the man didn’t agree so they all shunned him, and even excluded him from their WeChat group, it all seems a bit bizarre, let’s face it in any group of school kids one parent can often earn many times that of a another, in the workforce it is called competition, I would have thought that would be a great example of teaching kids to be competitive, Li refused to give in to the demands of the teacher and the other parents, arguing that he had worked hard for the money he used to buy the car, and that he wants to give his young son the very best, He added that if his luxury car made them feel awkward, maybe they were the ones with the problem, “If [seeing others] driving a racing car hurts feelings, your children are too sensitive,” he wrote on the group, “Besides, why should I buy another car just to serve your needs? I remember as a kid, one of the seniors had a parent who brought the kid to school in a, to us, a racing car, far from being morally outraged as modern snowflakes are, we just could not get closes enough to see it, to me it appears the parents, not the kids are the ones with a problem.
