I suspect fear. The mother is probably in future-shock with computers, twitter, smart phones, etc. and these people tend to lash out or put-down the value of education or knowledge in others. It is especially scary if your kids seem to be smarter than you.

I agree..and I believe this story. There are people out there who put down education, reading, anything that is related to learning. I know, I'm related to a few of them.

Plus, some people are just ignorant trash. I know that's not very PC, but it is what it is.
