This guy sounds kind of... ehhh robotic and better than any of us. I can get with his premise. I get and agree with giving kids learning opporutnies, etc...but wow some of the other stuff comes off as not very familial.
Still not sure how any of his kids could pay for college... Anybody want him as a dad?

thenewgreen: If children would come home and say that a teacher hated them or was not fair, our response was that you need to find a way to get along. You need find a way to learn the material because in real life, you may have a boss that does not like you. We would not enable children to “blame” the teacher for not learning, but place the responsibility for learning the material back on the child. Of course, we were alongside them for two hours of study a day, for them to ask for help anytime.
-My favorite bit from the read.I think he sounds like a pretty great dad actually. Children, and most adults, crave structure in their lives. This guy seems to give it in spades.
