smart kids or dumb parents?

When i read this article a couple of weeks ago i though, hrmmm that's interesting.

But today a co-worker brought his kid in. The one he always says is gifted. He's sitting whining at a computer right now playing a dora the explorer game. You know what, he's a kid! He's a normal little kid and that isn't something that you should feel bad about. You should be grateful for it dammit!

Let them be kids for christs sake. The other day this same parent told me that his kid's favorite movie is A Clockwork Orange. HE'S FOUR! Why in the HELL! are you showing him that movie?! Fuck, in ten years you'll be lucky if he's not in therapy recounting how he was applauded for watching a movie about violence!

ugh
