I disagree. Nobody else caring is a strong indication the skill isn't that valuable. If nobody else cares and he can't see a reason to care himself then why would he decide it's a skill he wants to put time into improving?
Tbh it sounds like your son has considered the merits and decided it's not a skill worth working on. You just disagree.
- david38 3y agoAgreed. I have limited time in my day. If I spent too much on things nobody else cared about, I would be wasting a lot of time. This would translate to other more important tasks not getting done.
- thfuran 3y agoI think you've taken it too far—it's not just that others don't care for it but that he also doesn't. Doing something that you care about but others don't isn't necessarily a waste of time.

If nobody else cares and he can't see a reason to care himself then why would he decide it's a skill he wants to put time into improving? Hmmm didn't think about it that way. Definitely a more practical approach.
