Making your child happy and enabling dangerous behaviour are two entirely different creatures. It is important to keep one’s eyes and ears open and one’s mouth closed and appear stupid and foolish than to close one’s eyes and ears then to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!
Unfortunately in some cases parents can’t make that distinction. This is not the only example of that.

The only gratifying example I can offer was my wife’s and my encouragement to have our children go to college.
My daughter learned to be a music teacher and is now doing what she loves at a wonderful school. My son is an engineer and very happy with the firm
Not at all fun and games for us. It was a tough road for all but we now reap some of the rewards.
Some joy and pleasure comes after sweating.

SO MOTE IT BE!
All to many people feel that if they can do a “thing,” they are an accomplished person. Let’s look at a guitar player. A person can pick up the guitar and learn to play. That doesn’t mean he can join a group tomorrow. A person can buy a camera and think they are a master. First you need to lean basics. Then you need to read the manual. Then you need to practice days on end for years. Maybe you will be notable a couple of years from now!

I can’t take credit for the curriculum. It was created by the Airplane Owners and Pilots Association. I would like to propose it to the New York City Board of Education and local high schools.
Good luck - I’m sure the students would enjoy the opportunity

To be adult is to be capable of recognizing an error and edited the nonsense within the UHH 60-ish minute edit window.

To be an adult also means to be a little humble and give others a break when (and if) they make a small mistake. Humble is the key word here.

One thing that a flight instructor cannot teach is common sense. I have a sticker in my log book that reads “Learn from the mistakes of others as you won’t live long enough to make them all yourself”….. I watch a lot of those videos myself.

Does being an adult include being a pedant? Apparently in some cases it does.

Could the parents possibly be considered culpable for the death of their son's friend who died in the crash? Very much like the case of the parents of the school shooter who was given a gun by the parents and they disregarded the warning signs of depression or other mental problems. The shooter and his parents have been sentenced to prison terms. It seems that the two cases are similar.

I would guess that would depend on the lawyers and the pull of the parents - your average parents cannot buy airplanes for their kids...
