[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG. You've got your toddler on the race to nowhere. Just chill out and let your child have a childhood.[/quote] Okay, this would be awesome advice if it weren't for the fact that black and latino children arrive at school knowing fewer words and unprepared for school. What does it matter that we are just as intelligent but start out behind?? You can have a childhood and still incorporate learning. My parents being lackadaiscal about my education and planting me in front of the tv for 5 years did not prepare me for school. Taing me to the zoo and pointing out the animals, talking to me constantly to increase my vocabulary, etc would not have taken away my childhood and would have prepared me better for school. Luckily, it all worked out for me but for too many children it does not. Go read The Ant and the Grasshopper - and you might understand.[/quote]
