I became a son-in-law in the United States

Chapter 20 No investigation, no right to speak

John F. Kennedy Jr. did not have a good time in the Kennedy household. It was not that the old Joseph and his wife mistreated him, but rather that he could not find anyone to talk to.

Catherine was still young and was quite neurotic. She liked to close her bedroom door and study strange things all the time.

The older brother, Daniel, is already twenty-two years old. The two are no longer in the same world and hardly communicate with each other.

The only one who's somewhat better is my second sister, Jia. We have a good relationship, and she's willing to listen to my troubles and occasionally offer some reasonable advice.

However, as his second sister went to school, Johnny's empty and bored feeling returned.

Fortunately, his second sister is now married and her husband has entered the family. After getting to know him, he found that his brother-in-law was even more interesting than his sister, because he was willing to drive him to pick up his sister from school.

Gradually, young Kennedy transferred his feelings for his second sister to his brother-in-law. The whole process was rapid, imperceptible to others, and even he himself was unaware of it.

Now things have improved. With Mrs. Ross's order, the entire Kennedy family has been reorganized, and her brother-in-law has become her teacher.

For Johnny Kennedy Jr., there was probably nothing better in the world.

When I'm with my second brother-in-law, there's usually no need for a separate classroom. Many principles, big and small, can be explained clearly through conversation between the two of us.

There's no need to prepare a special blackboard, buy special textbooks, or take exams and do homework; this is also a way of learning.

This learning method is not new; it is quite popular among the upper class in the United States today.

For example, what if a child from a wealthy family is interested in sociology, finance, literature, medicine, philosophy, and human peace?

If this problem were to occur in an ordinary family, they would be completely at a loss, or even utterly helpless.

Putting everything else aside, to take these courses, you have to go to an Ivy League university, and it has to be a top-ranked Ivy League university.

These schools only admit a small number of students each year, and the tuition is exorbitantly expensive, making it something that ordinary families can only dream of.

However, in blue-blooded families, in the true WASP circle, solving this problem is very simple: just invite all the Nobel Prize winners from that year.

After inviting them over, they do nothing but chat with the child, starting from scratch, from the most basic questions, and then gradually delving deeper until they reach broader and more profound issues.

In this way, with the teachings of these Nobel laureates, coupled with meticulous guidance throughout the process, students will progress very quickly.

Some studies have shown that students who learn in this way are several times more efficient than ordinary people.

That's understandable. You even invited a Nobel laureate. It would be strange if he wasn't happy.

So, some people might ask, who exactly is learning in this way?

Well, there really was one: Luther's good friend (the future) Roosevelt.

This guy has been studying like this since he was a child. He can easily take a few courses a year, and his father will invite big names from various fields to chat with him until they understand everything clearly.

It is clear that in education, the top tier and the wealthy are different, and the rich and the poor are different.

The highest level of education is unimaginable to ordinary people. Do you think that enrolling in an equestrian class or learning golf is high-class?

Please!

They usually invite Nobel laureates to chat, and they invite several at a time.

Now, the Kennedy family has also embarked on this path. Although Luther is not a Nobel Prize winner, as a time traveler, with his own accumulation and foresight, isn't he much more powerful than an ordinary Nobel Prize winner?

However, talk is cheap; ultimately, it must be put into action.

The following afternoon, Luther's first lesson began in the Kennedy family's common study.

To prepare for this lesson, Kennedy dressed up specially today, even putting on his mini Ivy League school uniform, which gave him a very British look.

This outfit consists of a shirt, vest, and blazer, paired with shorts, knee-high socks, and Oxford shoes.

Finally, ending with a tie is a common attire among children from wealthy families.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to teach me today? Is it European court etiquette, or a European language or something?"

In young Kennedy's eyes, although his brother-in-law had fallen on hard times, he was still related to royalty, and his ancestors were the king's brothers.

People from such families must be very familiar with the intricate court etiquette of old Europe, and with some courtly embellishments added on, nothing could be more perfect.

In addition, since he comes from Lutheran Bavaria, his German language skills and artistic taste should be quite good, which are things that can be taught.

Although the United States is currently dominated by nouveau riche, wealthy people have very strict requirements for their children, and they try their best to teach them things like European etiquette.

However, the next moment, Luther shook his head and said to John F. Kennedy, "No, we won't learn any of these things, at least not today."

"Why?" Kennedy Jr. asked, his eyes wide.

"Because it's outdated. The world no longer needs aristocratic etiquette, and there will never be any nobles in the future. As for European languages ​​and such, when you go to Europe in the future, you'll naturally learn them without me having to teach you."

Upon hearing this, Johnny nodded; his brother-in-law's words made sense.

Learning English in the classroom is definitely not as effective as real-world experience. Throw someone into the trenches of World War I, and they'll learn German in three months.

"Brother-in-law, so what are you going to teach me today?"

Luther smiled, turned and walked toward the small blackboard. He took out a piece of chalk from the box in front of him and wrote a few large words in English.

This sentence is not long, but the wording is clear and concise.

Little Kennedy watched curiously, his facial muscles twitching, his eyes following Luther's chalk as it moved to the right. As he watched, he read aloud softly.

"No investigation, no right to speak???"

The next moment, after Luther finished writing that sentence, he turned around and looked at John F. Kennedy with a grin.

That's right, it was just one sentence, and it was the first lesson he wanted to teach young Kennedy.

Johnny Muttered to himself several times, scratching his head, still not quite understanding; after all, he was only ten years old.

"Brother-in-law, your first lesson for me consisted of only one sentence? Just that one sentence??"

Upon hearing this, Luther nodded, put his hands behind his back, and looked like a wise man.

"Little one, you don't know, many people go through their entire lives without ever understanding what these words really mean."

"Many people go through life and, although they may understand what this means, they can never do it."

"Many people go through life understanding and doing it, but they can't stick to it until the end."

"Truth is always simple, yet difficult to attain, isn't it?"
