It’s R Life - Part 2: Buying, Lying, and Rudely Replying

I think they have a new sponsorship deal with Walmart, hence all the Walmart products in the videos lately.

Don’t they have to declare that a video contains a paid advertisement? I know the back to school one was obviously a sponsorship deal, but also the food?


Anyway: back to today’s video. If a child is getting all As in a school report then one must question the difficulty of those tests. Especially since we know that neither Brinley nor Evie is especially clever!
My kids are decent students. They’re all in the A stream in school…the upper stream. (School in this country is streamed A, B and C). Not in all their lives have they received straight As. Sure they get an A here and there in tests but never have I seen a report card like Brinley’s or Evie’s and I can 100% guarantee they know more, are better educated and are cleverer than the two Rich girls. Which can only suggest that the syllabus used by these girls is ridiculously below par. How many times has Kendal said that the girls struggle with Maths? I don’t even know how it’s possible for them to get an A in English….those kids have appalling use of spelling and grammar.
It actually infuriates me to think that kids who follow a decent system with a challenging syllabus come away worse off than those who cheat the system like Kendal does.
I wonder if Kendal realises how much the Europeans mock the US school system.

I feel you, it’s BS. Kendal knows her kids aren’t getting the same level of schooling as even people in basic public schools, let alone whatever upper stream one your kids go to. (I’m from the U.S— not sure how things work over in Europe)

Kendal’s level of schooling is NOT every U.S public school— especially high schools. There are numerous advanced placement/ dual enrollment courses that are quite rigorous at most American high schools. Kendal just cheats the system by being friends with her evaluator with her joke of a curriculum. Remember when Evie was enrolled in FL public schools and had to drop out right away?! She couldn’t handle an actual workload of homework and due dates.

You’re right, these girls have terrible spelling and grammar. They’d never get an A in real English class, where you actually have to write essays. They probably haven’t written a multi-page essay once in their lives.

Also, didn’t the Riches just start school?! There’s probably like 3 assignments in that grade book. Lots start with A’s when there’s barely a small worksheet in the grade book. I feel for you about your kids and kids similar to yours academic wise being compared to the Rich girls. It’s not fair and it’s stupid how Kendal can get away with her "schooling." Regardless of grades, though, they are only harming themselves being terribly under educated. Math is one thing, but not being able to read and write past a 6th grade level will look horrible for their futures.

Also— Kendal with the "I don’t care about haters"
yeah right I believe that like I believe Evie is the same level as a straight a student in any school that isn’t the school of Kendal

While I don’t know the ins and outs of the US school system, don’t worry, I don’t consider the Rich family homeschooling as a reliable benchmark. I just find it very difficult to comprehend how a country/state has so little control over what goes on in a homeschooling environment. And I also don’t understand how Daniel and Kendal knowingly fail their kids when it comes to following a challenging curriculum that might actually help them in their future.

If Evie finishes this school year with a fantastic score sheet…all As….and she wanted to go to college, would her chances of getting into a decent college be higher because she has better grades than the next candidate who possibly has lower grades but a much better education? How do colleges know which student is better educated if the school report is unreliable?

I doubt they have the money to afford to go to college.

I honestly think that homeschooling can work for some kids. I have one child in public school and one who I have homeschooled since covid. When my homeschooled kid started homeschooling, he had completed most of elementary school in public school. However, this particular child struggled in public school. I think the problem with our school system is that there is a sense that one size fits all - but the fact is that everyone learns differently and at different times. Since homeschooling, my son has improved drastically. Our state requires testing at the end of the school year to confirm progress. However, not all states require testing. Also, when I homeschool my son, I do not just leave him in front of a computer screen. We work through math problems together (Algebra 2), discuss historical books , revise essays and work on labs. While he has plenty of independent work, I am very hands on as well. One thing with computerized homeschool programs is that the kids can easily change the grades - so it is relatively easy to get straight As. So homeschoolers have to distinguish/prove themselves to colleges in other ways like scoring well on the standardized tests like the SATs or take AP tests or taking dual enrollment classes at the local community college. I am not against Kendall homeschooling, but I think that she is going about it in a lazy way. I just never see her working with her kids - or simply reading the younger kids a book. She only talks about cheer and frivolous shopping hauls or crumble outings.

I absolutely do not have an issue with homeschooling. I have an issue with how Kendal does homeschooling. But you’ve explained that kids don’t into college based purely off school reports and that’s comforting to know. I have visions of Evie getting into some top academics program while some other poor kid misses out. Again IG stories today is all about cheer. Her obsession is unsettling.

I guessing A Stream is similar to AP/IB tracks here. Some American kids graduate high school with 1-2 years of college credit after taking various nationally normed tests and scoring well. It's probably the best way to save on college expenses. Evie and Brin are so far removed from this it's absurd. As for the straight A's, I have two possible explanations:

1. They are graded by Kendal, who cares more about owning her "haters" than about whether or not her kids will be able to function as adults. So she gives her kids good grades so that she can throw it in our faces.

2. They are working well under grade level. If they are using The Good and the Beautiful for math, it only goes up to 6th grade and 6th grade is brand new this year. From my experience, it's a great curriculum when used appropriately and Math 2 mirrors or exceeds the textbook my district is using for second grade. I literally put both tables of contents side by side and went over them item by item. The Good and the Beautiful has a bit more breadth, but it's pretty much the same. So if this is what they are using, they are working at the sixth grade level or less. Most college bound high school aged traditional homeschoolers are using something called Teaching Textbooks. Unschoolers tend to use something called Learn Math Fast.

Americans embrace poor grammar. There's this perception that it makes them sound relatable. It's sort of like how our politicians fake southern accents when giving speeches. Even when you listen to American news and the news casters are former Ivy League, the grammar is awful. And no one with any type of power bothers to proof read. We are on the email list for our local school district. The superintendent's secretary blasts the most embarrassing poorly punctuated emails to the entire city.

To answer everyone’s questions about what it takes to get into college- it’s not just about grades. Colleges want to see what classes you are taking. They also know home schooling isn’t the same caliber as public school or private school. There’s no way in hell any accredited college will admit any of the Rich girls based on their transcript. They’ll also have to take some sort of standardized test (most likely the SAT) to even stand a chance - and we all know they can barely read so they’ll do too poorly to even be considered. This is also why Kendal keeps saying they don’t want to go to college. She knows they won’t get in, so she’s saving herself from the embarrassment of being rejected. Kinda like when you find out a girl/guy you like doesn’t like you back you say “well I never liked them in the first place” to make it look less pathetic.

What I am curious about is how EV is going to survive with a high school diploma. My guess? She’ll live at home for awhile- become a coach at the cheer gym, move into an apartment with a friend that Daniel and Kendal will pay for (with the help of Daniel’s parents of course), then EV will get married at 25 and be a homemaker- even though she has no home making skills. She’ll marry a twerp just like her dad who will be at her beck and call cause he’s too wimpy to say no. Calling it now- she’ll be JUST like Kendall in everyday. A useless member of society.

College Admission for homeschoolers:
1. Transcript rigor esp classes taken for college credit
2. SAT/ACT (although some places are doing away with this)
3. Essay. Sometimes multiple essays.
4. Letters of recommendation
5. Highschool resume (volunteer work, work experience, leadership roles, hobbies, special skills, extracurriculars)
6. Personal factors (family legacy, diversity, interesting personal experiences, etc.)
7. Occasionally an interview
8. Sometimes qualification for outside funding

College was never in the cards for the Rich girls. You could see it even in their early videos. The first video that I watched was a curriculum review from maybe 2017(?). Kendal came off as so lackadaisical that I had to find out if anything she did actually worked.

Honestly, I don't think Evie is going to find a sugar daddy. I think she'll live off her parents, work some dead end jobs that get her mother's approval, do a lot of swiping, eventually decide to grow up and be independent and... Maybe become a stripper. Because what else is there?

Just because some people seem to be alright with shaming Americans, because some people don't have a proper education or care to have one, doesn't mean you should be embarrassed to be American. I thought this was a forum about The Rich's, seems to be attack of Americans sometimes though.

I agree too. It’s very apparent from this forum alone that Americans are well educated. And that it’s people like the Rich family who give American education a ‘bad name’. However it does seem that many of these YouTubers attract an audience similar to how they are themselves. Homeschooling is not something that’s really done in Europe. There are exceptions but in all my 47 years on this planet I have never come across one child or adult that has been or is being homeschooled. Even those who are in high level sport go to school. In fact my sister and I were only recently talking about homeschooling and neither of us could fathom why a parent wouldn’t be delighted to send the kids off to school 5 times a week. Maybe I’m heartless and while I love weekends and family holidays my favourite time of the week is Monday morning when everyone leaves the house to go to school .

I had the same thoughts! When your homeschooling with Time for learning it’s easy to get A’s!! My daughter homeschooled from 4th-through 8th. We didn’t pull her out of school because it was to hard or intruding with our shopping days but because she is an inspiring gymnast. The work and traveling and missed days were to much on us as a family. So it was was the best choice at the time. But at no time could I say she was receiving the best schooling. We decided she needed to be back in school for High school! She is now a junior and doing so well! Kendall is delusional thinking her children are going to be able to make it in the real world.

[Cheerinfo]

I think that homeschooling can provide a good education - but the quality depends a lot on the efforts of the parents. My son had been begging to be homeschooled since the third grade when he met a kid who had been previously homeschooled until that point. I always told him no. But after Covid hit, and after everyone was forced to do some form of "home" schooling, we realized at that point homeschooling was actually effective for him. His test scores (as conducted by his former public school) went up significantly and he was so much happier. My daughter was the opposite - she always wanted to be in public school and thrived in that environment both academically and socially. However, my daughter was always advanced and never needed the kind of one on one/extra attention that my son needed.

I think that the Rich family should have sent all of their kids to public school since they are not willing to invest the time and effort to do homeschooling properly. It's also not like their kids are truly elite athletes that need the flexibility of homeschool.

[disgruntled_pelican]

Let’s also remember the main reason the Rich family homeschools is because the kids are unvaccinated and wouldn’t be allowed in public school anyway. Kendal and Daniel are beyond ignorant in so many different ways.

[Cheerinfo]

Actually, they still could go to public school bc they could use a religious exemption in regards to the vaccinations. They just wanted the kids home to exploit them for YouTube material.

The thing about America, is that the world has been laughing at us since the 1600s, but where do they all come when it hits the fan?

How many of us have family that came over during the Irish potato famine? The Holocaust? The Communist take over of Eastern Europe? The various crises in Asia in the 60s and 70s and Latin America in the 80s and 90s and Africa in the 2000s? Obviously people would rather take their chances with rugged individualism than with whatever enlightenment is going on elsewhere. Even when they cling to their culture, they're still here.
