Parents Let Kid Drop Out to Play Guitar Hero “Professionally”
This is just scary parenting. I don’t know what else to say. As a lifelong gamer, I can certainly appreciate the lure of playing video games over going to school, but if I’d ever told my parents I wanted to do this, they’d have (rightly) spanked me silly. From the article:
Mike and Hunter do not believe in one-size-fits-all parenting.
That is not to say that it was an easy decision for them to let Blake leave school last September. They would have preferred that he stay in high school with his brother. But he bugged them until they let him quit.
“We couldn’t take the complaining anymore,” says Hunter. “He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time.”
Wow. A kid who gets whatever he complains enough for. That’s one kid who’s destined for a rough time in life.
