If you raised children, would you try to cause them the minimum pain possible?

<p>I wouldn’t prevent him from doing it on his own initiative. I wouldn’t know if I’d be proactive about it until I come into such circumstance. Certainly there would be some reluctance. [at least I’d make him take practice tests under BOTH regular and extended time to see if he <em>really</em> improves first].</p>

<p>(but this is minor since it won’t get your child permanently in trouble. There are other cases where coercion could be the only possible option). </p>

<p>Ask him about it - suggest him to improve by himself before allowing him to socially play football again. </p>

<p>haha if I had children I’d homeschool them so I never imagined that question :stuck_out_tongue: (that TCS website has scary examples of children caving into peer pressure). But I suppose so as long as I had adequate amounts of money.
[also pure homeschooling might not be ideal - there are more open-ended liberal types of schools - Will Wright went to one of them]</p>
