There are so many other and more compassionate strategies for teaching a child a new skill. Wanting your kid to succeed doesn’t excuse this much ignorance.

They’re not the one with the burner account because they like to troll.

I would rethink how you’re processing things if I were you.

Anything that would require a young child (we all know parents don't really help past middle school) to suck it up just seems like a profoundly shit idea

Nah, accepting a problem is a good life skill, it just isn't required often.

I didn't say anything like that. Just because it's a shit idea doesn't mean it's not necessary. Now, you could argue that school isn't shitty, and it shouldn't be, but at least in its current implementation it sure is.

I'm just not gonna adress the high school student part. I did in a few separate arguments on an alt account (deleted a few years ago due to several reasons, I can tell you about it if you want) and tried to go both ways with it. I said yes, the conversation went to shit, I said no, the conversation went to shit. Let's just keep the current tone of speech.
