Lets see. Holly is back at school and I am waking alone. It is ok, but I won't get to see Brennon as much cause he was the one who would wake me up. Even Holly won't get to see Brennon as much as he is now going to his baby sitter during the day. I hope it doesn't adversely affect him. I know in some ways it is good that he has more interaction with others and he will have exposure to Spanish. But in other ways he will probably have a little separation anxiety. I suppose that it is better now than when he is 5 and is kicking and screaming when we drop him off at school. But I wonder if it will make him have a harder personality than a kid who is helicoptered?

You never know what affects a kid. I think there is no general rule. I think it is all specific to that individual child. For instance I don't think spanking needs to be done on any sensitive children as that could scar them, however if they are not sensitive than that might be a good learning medium. Kids who show higher aptitude for learning should be given more to learn. Kids with lower aptitude should be given less. I think that is a problem with schools nowadays, they don't take into account each child's differences.

I think it is a matter of time before the complicated becomes simple. What I mean is that a computer could analyze a person's potential and tailer a learning plan in accordance with their aptitude. Artificial intelligence has been around a while and keeps getting better. Although at what age is a kid's aptitude determined? You never know. It kind of reminds me of the move Gattaga. I still feel like I am learning at age 35 and think I will continue to learn till I die. It is in my nature. I am much smarter now than I ever was in high school and college, even though my memory of redundant facts is gone. Or am I smarter? More tests... or less tests...
