Eh, what I don't get is how the connection is made between 'right' and what the parents advocate. Let's take one of the two most common examples. Piano. For the other most common one, making a child do well at math is probably beneficial because science often requires it, and scientists are in demand, so it would make sense if they want their child to have a job. But piano? It's nice to listen to and all, but if you strip away all the happiness by beating the child into performing, then there's practically nothing left. Last I recall I don't think there was significant demand for piano players, so apart from the prestige maybe... how is this 'right'?
