The Student Voice

My son Max just turned 15. He is in a dual-enrollment program in which he’ll earn his Associate’s degree before he graduates high school. How did he get here? I’d love to say it was my amazing parenting, but the truth is he’s always had a strong love of learning.

At age three he read billboards from his car seat.

At age five he took apart computers.

At age nine he read a 450-page book on salt – for fun.

In summary, parents should call for quiet conditions when children are writing essays.

When reading and trying to incorporate new material, however, they should consider allowing some background music, particularly if it's instrumental and their child is an extrovert.

Most important of all is to minimise background conversations altogether.
