Sounds like sour grapes to me. My parents pulled me out of 6th grade to drive from WA to CA for a week at Disneyland. It's one of my fondest childhood memories. And wonder of all wonders, I ended up with a bachelor's degree and I own a successful business.
I plan to do the same thing when my kids are the right age, as long as they maintain a high enough GPA. Certain things are just more important than practicing long division and working on a global warming project.
It's definitely not sour grapes, and it was absolutely not my intention to have it read that way.
I can understand something educational that a child might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience, but an amusement park?
Good for you for the bachelor's degree and the successful business. I have two masters' and a successful career. So it worked out for both of us.
