It takes effort to rebel this hard. That effort should be rewarded not squashed. Eventually they’ll find something that interests them and their effort will be naturally put into improving that. Basically, don’t kill a child’s spirit.

Exactly this. I’m successful a cybersecurity compliance analyst today because whenever I got around my IT father he laughed and was impressed with me. If he yelled and made a stink about me circumvented firewalls or gained admin privileges, it would have turned me off of this path real quick.

If no one is getting hurt, foster that shit! Make ‘em think and make ‘em work! They’re always smart enough to know when you let them win versus when they impress the pants off you!

If they don’t actually read/write Chinese, then it took more effort to do this than it would have to just write the letter in English as intended. It’s impressive.
