[quote=Anonymous]If you're sending your kids the message that they need to be doctors or engineers in order to become successful, it'll be an uphill battle to raise children to be true intellectuals. IME, true intellectuals are encouraged to value the arts, history, literature, and culture broadly--it's not just a hobby, but a serious and important part of being a human being. Of course, if your children end up being doctors or engineers, that's great, but you really have to instill in your kids that that's not the end-all, be-all of education. Once you have that down, spend time reading the NYT, visit museums, go to the Kennedy Center, watch classic films together, etc. Enroll your kids in music and art lessons. [/quote]
