Listen up troll :-) ... Th guy asked about subject A and a ton of people went left with regards as to whether "A" was something to be done at all.
Geez ... get a life ... get kids of your own ... then you can talk ... just cause you were a kid once(?) doesn't mean you diddly about parenting.
You strike me as one of those "near-do-wells" that vote against school vouchers on the principle that government run schools should just work. Leaving us parents to deal with the mess of you arm-chair-parents :-)
And in your latest response you go and disparege this parents value system ... inferring the kid has not earned what he is getting.
Like a previous poster stated ... you don't know jack about this family ... and more to the point ... isn't this "slashdot"?? where do a bunch of geeks get off discussing this kids social life?
If the parent wanted advice on raising his kid he could have visted DRLaura.com or focusonthefamily.om :-)
But ... the bored lonely wanna-be-parents just can't resist the urge to meddle.
-- If the village is full of idiots, I will raise my kid in the void.
My point ... stay out of parenting issue unless you are asked ... trust me .. you won't be.
