I am only wondering cos I will soon be a parent, and some of us here will probably pass the same fear to the next generation. Not me!
I will teach my child that education is good but there are different kinds of schooling. You can't just go to school to learn chemistry, physics, maths and English.
I will teach him that you can still learn to be a developer while you are at it. You can learn to be an entertainer, a footballer, anything you wanna be while you are still attending classes in school.
How many of our parents were willing to pay for us to go and learn how to play musical instruments when we were still small? How many of them could buy footballs for us or even allow us to play the ones we bought by ourselves in peace.
I used to hide my video games back in the days, I used to hide my drawing book where I drew all sorts of futuristic cars. Who knows if only someone encouraged me then there may have been flying cars today.
All I am trying to say is do not limit the potential of any child, your job as a parent is to guild that child maximize his God given potentials.
