Even in the parent does a lot of the work and provides a lot of
knowledge, isn't there something to doing a project with your child?
It seems like that's missing these days.


You'd think that, but the wrong message is getting through in most cases.
Rather than becoming a chance for father son bonding, the lesson is WIN at
any cost. It is OK to use ringers, buy, instead of developing technology,
etc. I wonder how many kids never get to touch the car?



And what's wrong with that? It teaches them how things are done in a free
greed society such as ours. It instills in them the (lack of) morals to get
ahead. Victory at any cost. Screw anybody to get there.
