"It is not simply that it is pathetic to consider the lives of children who don’t have a moment between piano and dance and homework to talk about their day or just search for split ends, an enormously satisfying leisure-time activity of my youth. There is also ample psychological research suggesting that what we might call “doing nothing” is when human beings actually do their best thinking, and when creativity comes to call."
I really like this part of the essay, because it's very clear and straight forward about her idea, and the best part is that it is exactly what a teenager might argue with their strict parents. There are many students that are just spending all their time on studying and practicing instruments that they don't actually have the time to think, dream, and love. Also, she supported her argument with a scientific sounding evidence, yet it is still very understandable, because most people would agree that one can think better in their lalaland than anywhere else.
