Terms and Conditions for Exams?

His dad's original post said that he was going to get him
the study guide. He didn't say anything about making him
take the exam. As far as having fun goes you're assuming
that he want's to play football, soccer, or whatever.
You're also assuming that he can't do both if he wants
to. Where do you think these kid wizards get their
knowledge? It's not by osmosis I guarantee you. They
learn and practice. I would yield to his father's
decision on this since he knows his son better than any of
us posting our opinions here. Maybe his idea of having
fun is learning about networking technology. Are you guys
really that insecure in your place in life that you would
deny a kid an opportunity to learn and grow? The kid is
just getting ready to turn 14. That means that he won't
be a threat to you for another 3 or 4 years. If his dad
thinks that he'll enjoy it my opinion is to go for it and
get him the study guide. He may become so enthralled that
he'll want to consume more knowledge about the industry.
This kid could end up being the next Bill Gates (only an
analogy). I really don't understand why some adults want
to stifle our youths. OK, I'm done.

To FAIL is to learn the lessons of life and to overcome, get up and try
again not be a quitter or a loser! Besides even with failure you keep the
knowledge and learn even more. Especially that life and tests are
gennerally not fair! So learn to rise above the failure.
