[quote=Anonymous][quote]"Crazy" PP here. Thanks for sharing your uninformed perspectives on child development. We're not rich. Our child will have to support herself, and in order to do that she'll have to be a thoughtful, creative problem-solver. I am unclear on the role of repetitive math worksheets (long after she has achieved mastery and tests at the 99th percentile) in developing these traits. Her robot-building, the stories she writes for pleasure, the time she spends playing chess with her dad? Clearly valuable. [/quote] I think the point you shodul take from this thread, crazy PP, is that when you use hyperbolic language like "destroyer of childhood" you are immediately dismissed as a loon. You make some valid points, but they're all undercut by your apparent insanity. If you moderate your language a bit, you'll be much more efffctive. [/quote]
