David, the paper airplane racing, glasses-simulating, easily-antsy kid is one smart cookie. Like seriously, he’s one of the youngest people in the US to earn a high school diploma. At just nine years old, he graduated from Reach Cyber Charter School – an online school in Pennsylvania. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s now enrolled in online classes at Bucks County Community College. He even gets all his homework done for the week in one day. Lazy or efficient? You decide.
Apparently, David’s parents, Ronya and Henry, started testing his intellect when he was six. They quickly realized they needed to adjust their parenting techniques. Instead of conventional responses like, “because I said so,” they need to engage in philosophical debates with their kid. “You’ve got to develop a different mindset as a parent,” Henry explains. “It’s not always easy when your son is asking you questions constantly. You have to keep answering the questions, because you don’t want to say, ‘Just leave me alone.’”
The Baloguns don’t claim to have it all figured out. There’s no magic recipe to raising a whiz-kid. But they do have one key rule: if something isn’t working for your child, it’s not your child’s fault. It’s the system’s fault. Finally, a way for parents to scapegoat their children’s shortcomings onto something other than themselves. You’re welcome.
So if you’re feeling inadequate because your kid didn’t graduate high school at nine, blame the school system instead of your own laziness. Or just teach your kid the art of paper airplane racing. That’s a valuable life skill.
