[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the kids who grow to be those insufferable entry-level hires at the office who think they're above doing the boring parts of their jobs. [/quote] No, they will grow up to be the workers who know how to assess workflow and prioritize tasks.[/quote] Teaching a young child that if they don't like something about an assigned task, they don't have to do it, will not result in some super-hardworking wunderkind. I understand the thought process behind OP's opinion, and I also think busywork is annoying and often useless, but that's not the point here. A five-year-old will not grasp the nuances of OP's stance on busywork, just the overall lesson of "Mommy said I don't have to". You hear nowadays about parents calling to ream out interviewers after their adult child doesn't get chosen for a job...I think that is more likely to be the end result here than a child who is a high-achieving free thinker.[/quote]
