Please answer ASAP

Evaluate the father's decision in the following scenario. Are there any problems with his thinking?

Marc is a father and a physicist. He has enrolled his children in science camps and extracurricular activities. He is frustrated by his 7-year-old son Ben's performance. Marc says Ben enjoys himself but does not seem to have a scientific mind. Ben does a poor job coming up with predictions and hypotheses.

Marc decides it would be a better idea to enroll Ben in classes that will prepare him for careers outside the sciences—perhaps the summer program that lets children learn math and business skills while running a lemonade stand.

Answer:

He could work with him instead of just putting him into a different class think that its going to do the trick hopefully, and try to see things from his sons perspective, and how he feels about the classes that he is enrolled in, instead of just running out of presumption, and if he did happen to actually be interested in those classes he could try coming from a hands-on view, and maybe think that he might learn it better if it came from his dad.

He could also show him how to make a educated guess, and how to make good predictions or hypotheses.

Also He could teach him how to think scientifically, and encourage him to think in such a way.

Instead of also of getting frustrated at your sons performance and just automatically thinking he seems to not have a scientific mind, and changing his classes before you every got his view on things.

So yes there are many problems with the father's thinking.

The father is not keeping an open mind. If the father wants the best for his child, he will try to understand what is going on. In this case, the kid might not be interested in Science. And that is okay, because he probably has strengths in things that he as in individual, approves of. Not what his father thinks.
