I clicked it to check it out.
But you're the first person I actually follow who has mentioned this. I think that's something.

I think his approach was kind of stupid, and a bit excessive, but I think the attention and ire he's getting is too much. I think people commenting that some people learn differently than others, which may be useful information for him, but he doesn't need it imparted w/ rage

I clicked who-is for results. I can't evaluate him as a father based on his dumb tweet thread. But based on that, he does sound kind of awful.

I think there's a difference, from a child's perspective, between "I solved this problem on my own because I wanted / needed to" and "I solved this problem alone while dad watched and refused to help". The former is a confidence builder. The latter I'm less sure about.

I thought this was an off-the-cuff metaphor until I scrolled more and discovered it was A Thing.

Hmm, me and my friends (all of whom raised good kids), and some of their kids!, all thought it was a cool learning lesson.

Certainly don't like his approach, I think just explaining and showing would give the same result with far less frustration. But we can't judge if he is good dad or not and just like everything else in here it's being blown way out of proportion. He's today's target of the mob.
