I agree, but I also think that society has a path mapped out for kids: become a loan slave/worker drone. School doesn't teach entrepreneurship at all, and neither does university. So if left unchecked, the danger is that the kids will just be slurped up by one of the official "channels" and become another worker drone.

To be fair, some universities have tiny offices dedicated to creating businesses from their research, but I don't think it is very prominent in what tends to happen at universities. "They" are much happier if they can get you to toil for little money towards your PhD.

Also, I don't think it is really possible to be completely neutral towards the development of one's own kids. And I think it is OK to pass on some of one's values. They can always rebel if they don't like them.
