[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I know [b]forcing[/b] is your word selection.  But, this choice of word is far too mild.  I actual have a torture chamber at home for our kids and their lesson plans.  They were tortured all the way to academic excellence and the national awards.  I tried to get rid of this device but the kids keep coming back for more.  I'm not sure what to do.  They have chosen the path of masochism.

I have not had a conversation with their brains.  I have no glue where their brains want them to be.  I'm sure you know where their brains want to be.  At least, you know where their brains should be; that is, right behind your own children.  Perhaps a functional intracranial MRI will provide glues and targets of where I should position those hyperactive neuronal connections.  I guess since we live in the D.C. area the WPSSI will reveal the answer.  But, like everyone else he took that 3 years ago with a 99.9 percentile.

Do you also know where their bodies want to be?  My 6 year-old swimmer is much faster than the 8 year-olds in the County.  I'm not sure where his body wants him to be in terms of pure speed.  His body provides me no feedback.  The pediatrician says he is in the 94th and 98th percentile for height and weight respectively.  There we go agaim, those damn 90 percentiles.  Perhaps I'll turn up the torture device and force him to slow and throttle down.  Better, yet starve the bloody protoplasm to get him down to where he should be (? 50th percentile).  Then, he will transform or reprogram from parrot to slow poke fish and not be ahead of where his body would want him to be.  If only I could slow down his brain to a station where his brain would want him to be.  Sounds vaguely familiar,  leave no child, body or brain  behind.  I mean leave no child, brain or  body ahead except, of course, your own children.
