Parents sound weird, though the email from the university sounds very strange

Parents sound like arseholes to me. Their actions show that they are clearly not thinking of their child's welfare but only of breaking a record.

Yep, that's a better take.

I feel so sorry for that poor kid, he seems to have very pushy parents and is living a far from normal childhood.

Our three birth daughters are very intelligent, whilst their academic studies were important to us, we ensured they had a good childhood.
