Parents

On a second thought, I might be at the wrong.

When I went through Wong’s book a second time, there were actually sub-headings that outline parents’ wrongdoing along the case scenarios. Here is the list:
  • easy availability of money and (in the terms of Adam Smith) other convenience of life
  • easy availability of information
  • easy availability of opportunity (for example, to learn)
  • help them to reduce stress
  • help them to memorize less
  • fail to allow them to be independent
  • fail to allow them to have their own opinion and decision
  • fail to exercise discipline at home
  • favoritism of stupidity in the society
Some of my colleagues may find this list somewhat familiar. Yes, they are almost exactly the same as the list of objectives when we planned the current curriculum of our medical school.
