My friend David Parmet continues to express alarm at a widening education gap, which is preparing today's kids for a mid-20th century job. He reports that like many parents he thinks his son would be years ahead of his peers, even if his son spent his time just watching Sponge Bob.
"And the sad thing is that’s seen by his school not as an asset to be nurtured but a liability to be cured. In short, the boy is a round peg being shoved into a square hole and it’s not working."
So next year, his son will be home taught.
