Not raising idiots

After reading an article entitled: Are We Raising a Generation of Idiots? where the author talked about 2nd graders who can't tie their shoes, high schoolers who don't know how to mail a letter and college kids who can't use a can opener

Grace: Mom, will you pour me some cereal and milk?

Robyn: I am not raising idiots or nincompoops! You need to do it for yourself.

Grace: I'm not a nincompoop! How can you call your children that?

Robyn: I didn't CALL you an nincompoop. I said, I don't want you to BECOME a nincompoop. Pour your own cereal.
