It is often remarked that there is no such thing as a bad child, just a bad parent. The use of the word “bad” however is an interesting one. Does this mean that a bad parent is one that does not fulfil its responsibilities as a parent? If so, what is a bad child? One who doesn’t fulfil his or her responsibilities as a child? In that case then, a child who does quantum physics instead of playing in a playground is a bad child as they do not serve their purpose of what we perceive a child to be.
The point I am attempting to prove (through a rather pathetic analogy) is that the term “bad” is perhaps too vague.
