The “smart” kids took the cop-out...

Life should be an education and, take it from a overly-educated individual like myself, education can be distracting. Spending endless hours on campus at a drafting table, interfaced with computers, and with my nose in books leaves little time for the important things... like my son. What time I do have with him I try to spend being an educator. But I don't spend enough time educating myself about how to educate him. Every once in awhile a little gem floats my way... a must read for all parents or aspiring parents.
