very good .. yes what you say is right..
sometimes a kid needs to learn to be humble and understand they do not know it all.. or even why they are asked to do things.. but do them because Dad knows best.. which you do..
its ONLY after maybe a month or three that they maybe GET into school.. and they do need a push to get them there.. but IF they dont respect you and listen then they can Never really learn..
tell him Alex agrees and he's also really wise ;-). .
