You’d think that people would learn that the market has changed. No matter how counter-intuitive it may seem, all of the empirical data support the notion that giving away books and music leads to higher sales, not lower. But people will ignore facts that contradict what they “know” to be true.
Come to think of it, that explains the Democrat party.

In short, parents are correct to think that they can change their children. Their mistake is to suppose that the change will endure. Instead of thinking of kids as lumps of clay that parents “mold,” we should think of kids as plastic that flexes in response to pressure – and springs back to its original shape once the pressure goes away.
So I guess the solution is to press harder.

Languages such as German, Spanish, Swedish, or Italian are also acceptable, but are considered to be poor substitutes (especially Spanish). At the time of writing, it is still considered expert-level white person behavior to have white children speaking Asian and African languages.

Only non-Westerners, apparently. Of course, this is the New Yorker….
Steve Sailer has some thoughts on the subject.
You just have to have the Times Table pounded into your head over and over as a kid, but our education system is against “rote learning,” so school kids aren’t usually forced to chant them like in the good old days. But kids actually kind of like rote learning. (It’s adults who hate learning that way, and especially hate teaching that way.) Kids like singing the alphabet song, for instance. You’d think educators would find a times table rap that today’s children would like.
Indeed.
