Using Spotify to sneaky educate my kids

[lewisnotmiller]

So it's all Katy Perry this, Justin Bieber that.
So I've infiltrated all their playlists and snuck a few rock classics in there.

Sure, the transition from 'I Kissed a Girl' to 'Master of Puppets' is a little jarring, but I'm sure in time their shrieks of horror will turn to screams of delight....right?

Of course, Metallica is the best no matter the generation.

You're a sick, twisted man, Dave, but we love you.

Hmmm...
I find nothing objectionable about that post. Bravo, good sir, carry on!

I actually applaud your efforts, sneaky dad. I can imagine your daughters will have stories to tell to their therapists in coming years, though.

They're not my favourite band, or anything, but according to the Gospels of Ride the Lightning, it is appropriate to Fight Fire with Fire.
So there appeared only one response to Bieber...

*nods solemnly*

That's the best part. I'm a psych major, so I'll just buy a second hand couch, and fix all their issues myself.

...Justin Bieber...

Gasp! You have spoken The Name That Shall Not Be Spoken!

On a more serious note, have you tried using something like Khan Academy? It's free and looks like a popular alternative or supplement to traditional K-12 education.

In the name of the Ozzman, the Zeppelin, and the Holy Hendrix, I pray for the souls of your children. May Joan Jett bless them, and Alice Cooper guide them. May the heaviness of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, and Iron Maiden drag out the demons possessing them. Let them learn of the great Progressive ways, as Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Dream Theater teach them. May you lead them to a Revival of Creedence Clearwater! Let the most high prophet of Maynard James Keenan sing to them psalms that will awaken them and forever change their lives!

Jarring, only because their ears won't know what to do hearing raw unbridled musical prowess.

You could ease them into it with some Symphony and Metallica

Might try some Perfect Circle before unloading Tool on them...lol
