It's so annoying when jealous or ignorant people presume a child has been pressured into advanced academic subjects.

Not all of them would complain that much with a stellar athlete.

We are an academically-minded family. My son would MUCH RATHER do any kind of intellectual activity than do sports. In late elementary he was reading at a 12th grade level, and doing advanced math. Not because we pushed him,[b] but because we think topics like these are fun and interesting - we unwittingly created an environment where he could like such things.[/b]

Do you understand, OP? Please stop criticizing other families like this - it makes you seem very insecure.

I was with you until you went there.

You can't take credit for something, and also call people who claim that you caused something ignorant and jealous.  You need to choose.[/quote]

There's a difference between making something fun that the kid already has aptitude for, and pushing.
