    • This girl Lily, who is UNDER 2, can identify most countries in the world, including Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, and a bunch of other obscure countries.



    I'd like to discuss this here, because I don't think it's 100% a good thing.

    •  Well, I think better geography than say, rap lyrics... but yeah... if the kids are put under that kind of pressure virtually from the crib, they're probably going to grow up and have their first mental breakdown in their 20s. Or maybe just turn junkie at 14.

    I think it's different if the kid likes something that much, but to force kids to learn things...

    • Yes, I remember finding out something awhile back about a certain academy for young children, where parents enrolled them to learn things advanced for their age, like speaking Spanish.
