And mine will be studying ancient Hebrew, Greek and Latin and reading the Torah, Homer and Virgil. Anyone allowing children near electroludograms designed to be addictive before they're familiar with actual classic cultural artifacts is simply irresponsible. Of course, I am not so ignorant as to forget the Orient. I have already arranged for my second child to be shipped to China at birth to provide government financial incentives to a local couple. I've told them I'll take her back when she's caught up on the last 3000 years or so of Eastern human capital.
It's this kind of backseat parenting entitlement that makes me never want to have kids. It feels likes it's a free pass for strangers to tell you anything they feel akin to extremist religious fanaticism.
It's great you want to culture your kids. But many bright young individuals grew up without any of that.
There's also a ton of studies that show video games help with problem solving cognition, so I'd be curious your thoughts on that.
Did you perhaps miss an element of irony? I know parents who have sent their kids to Latin charter schools, I know parents who send their kids to learn Hebrew. But I haven't so far met any who sent a child to China to help someone qualify for a government bonus.
