Kids were given one marshmallow and told if they were disciplined enough to not eat it, they would get two later.
The rigorous NYC prep schools I attended demanded kids give up their childhood and teen years to grueling academics, no sleep, bullying and cruelty bordering into abuse.
In exchange for a very successful future. The promised "Marshmallow Castle." Which doesn't exist.
I'm writing a book about what happened. "The Marshmallow Castle: The false promises of my private schools."
