[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 451701, member: 11791"] Even worse... if you raise your kids in ways that make transitioning into adulthood easier, then THEY (and YOU) are outcasts in the school system. Neither teachers nor their peers can deal with kids who are learning adult-level skills but don't have cell-phone/face-book/computer-games/sports-team-participation etc. Because 95% (I'm being generous... my first number was 99.9!) of parents are just "going with the flow", kids who are "advanced" in life-skills are "behind in social skills because their peers can't relate to them". Get this: The fix is to [U]not allow our kids to learn advanced skills faster than their peers.[/U] HUH? We're supposed to drop the whole world down to the lowest common denominator of non-think just to "fit in"??? [/QUOTE]
