And also I am. trying to avoid this like suck into one thing. And also then it takes over the whole family's life. And then they're all revolved around this one thing. And then by the way, what does that do to the kid?

Assuming that we should all be pursuing excellence, I've experienced and know too many people who are the carrots of the system and watched their mental health, their physical health.
