[quote=Anonymous][quote]Funny, why should you have a problem with parents that drill and practice? What if I had a problem with parents who go to synagogue and church where they drill and practise? Do you see how stupid and silly your remarks are? By the way, I have aproblem with parents who put their little poor children in lacrosse and swim camps at a young age? Is the sky blue? I hate that color.

Agree completely - I somehow yawn at all those "regular americans" who feel entitled to be at the top of heap while coddling their little ones with fun and games and sports rather than high-pressure academic work. There is no rule in the real world - the global world - that says that kids shouldn't be studying hard starting in grade 1 at age 6 rather than at an older age.

If one's kids are truly gifted and don't require prep, drill and kill why are such parents worried about others who believe in prep, drill and kill?  This choice does not interfere with the choices of gifted children.  Or is the parable about the tortoise and the hare worth revisiting?  The days of having it both ways are over...no more having and eating your cake at the same time (definition of entitlement).[/quote]
