In assailing The Atlantic for giving me a platform, he cited my journalistic malpractice as an associate editor at The N

With his questions still unanswered, Wemple has continued to raise doubts about the piece — and recently tweeted that The Atlantic’s retraction did not go far enough: “There’s still a lot in [the article] to correct, imo. The distortions and nonsense in the piece all lean in one direction — toward making the parents of Fairfield County appear more unreasonable and tyrannical and status-conscious than they are.”

My story is true and I stand by it. It is true both in its particular details and in its overarching thesis: wealthy parents in niche-sport hotbeds are spending vast sums of money and pushing their children through extreme training regimens in pursuit of an ever-dwindling supply of Ivy League recruiting spots — endangering the mental health of their own kids and crowding out less privileged young athletes in the process.

In his Oct. 24th column and a second on Oct. 30th, Wemple outlined in great detail his doubts and misgivings about my Atlantic piece. He raised the question that goes to the heart of any piece of journalism: “How much of it is true?”

· All anonymous sources were contacted by fact-checkers from The Atlantic and their quotes confirmed prior to the publication of my article. None of this material is in dispute.

Wemple: Squash lessons: The piece makes the claim that parents routinely pay $400 for squash lessons of 45 minutes. I have seen some price listings, and most are in the $100 range, even in these well-to-do jurisdictions. Can you provide any examples of $400 squash lessons?

Most egregiously, to protect the anonymity of a source I called “Sloane,” I signed off on inserting a reference to a person who doesn’t exist. I described Sloane, in passing, as the mother of four children — three daughters and a son — when in truth she has only three daughters. I should not have misled readers, and I’ve apologized to The Atlantic for this error.

The editors of the magazine viewed my inclusion of a nonexistent son as a cardinal lapse and retracted the piece. That is their prerogative. Unfortunately, this decision has prompted widespread speculation that the article as a whole is not grounded in solid reporting, contains embellishments or is somehow fabricated or made-up.

I regret that I did not speak with Wemple while he was reporting on my story. I’d like to take this opportunity to answer his specific queries now, in the spirit of transparency and clarity, and for Atlantic readers who were drawn in by the piece and shared it with friends. They deserve to know if it is credible.

I already know what resources I plan on using when I want to dive into deep learning because I’ve had my eyes on these resources for a while. To get an intuitive understanding of neural networks, I plan on watching the first two YouTube videos. Then, I plan on going through the two courses that follow.

· The article includes quotes from sixteen named sources speaking in support of the central thesis of the piece. High school and college coaches, trainers, physical therapists, admissions advisors and sports governing body officials are all quoted at length and on the record. No one has disputed the accuracy of their quotes or my story. On the contrary, many have expressed support for the piece and called it an accurate portrait of youth-sports culture in affluent enclaves.

The article did contain several errors: I placed an anonymous lacrosse mom in Greenwich when she actually lives in an adjoining Connecticut town. I referred to “Olympic-sized” backyard hockey rinks when I should have written “commercially sized” or “professionally sized.” A fencing neck injury that was originally described to me as a “stab” to the jugular has been corrected to a “jab”; a thigh injury described as a “deep gash” is now characterized as “a skin rupture that bled through a fencing uniform.”

On October 29th, when Wemple contacted me with a list of questions about the piece, The Atlantic asked me not to respond. They requested instead that I send my answers to the magazine’s research department, which was in the midst of a line-by-line reexamination of the story.

I’ve also noticed that deep learning is becoming a bigger focus throughout the community. An increasing proportion of Kaggle competitions require deep learning, more job postings require experience in deep learning, and more articles are about deep learning!

· The story went through The Atlantic’s usual rigorous editing and fact-checking process. The Atlantic then reviewed the piece a second time after Wemple raised his concerns. Other than the mistakes I cite above, I’m aware of no additional errors or corrections.

gs an opportunity for healing in the spiritual community as Mercury (in Sagittarius) harmonizes with Chiron (in Aries). This will be especially poignant for those wounded by religion and impacted by violence in defense of it. What have we learned as a collective about the masculine influence on religious bodies and doctrine? There may be discussions about self-identification via religion and where that can sometimes lead people astray.”
