'We are not going to be sending her there': Problematic parents refuse to send younger daughter to same private school as her sister because she isn't into STEM

Rarely has favoritism been so blatantly obvious.

This father can try to rationalize his logic as much as he wants, but the truth of the matter is that he does not value his artistic daughter's talents and sensibilities as much as he values his more STEM-leaning daughter's gifts. In the case of the latter, he and his wife made sure to invest in their eldest's academic prospects by sending her to a private school. Meanwhile, their younger daughter had been secretly hoping that she could attend the same institution when it was her turn to apply to high school.

However, her father felt that her lack of interest in math and science meant that private school would not be a good fit for her and that she wasn't gifted enough academically and intellectually for the tuition to be worth it. Like many of the Redditors in the comments section, we felt that this was an insane confrontation to have with your middle school-aged daughter. Not only did plenty of folks find his lack of appreciation for his younger daughter's interest to be insulting, but also one has to wonder how he came to the conclusion that she would not study hard. A middle school student's work ethic is not entirely indicative of how they will behave in high school.
