I second the "surprisingly good" comment. I have one friend who managed to get into the Ivy League and come out with a law degree. A lot of what was said in the article reminds me of him.
Having excessively high expectations for his kids (or, you could say, excessively narrow) is the worst of it. I want to tell him, you have three kids, odds are they are not all going to be Ivy League scholars. But he can't imagine any other future for them. Going to be rough on him and his kids alike, I'm afraid.
