<p>I don’t remember forcing my kids to watch movies or listen to music, but yes, I think that’s part of being culturally literate too. You should know who Charlie Chaplin is, you should have seen at least one Alfred Hitchcock, some of the classic westerns, Rashomon, etc. I didn’t have to take care of the classical music piece, my kids played in band and orchestra, but they got exposed to a fair amount of classic rock, country and folk music. Meanwhile they educated me in rap and metal. We recommend books to each other. I would never look at a graphic novel if it weren’t for my oldest.</p>
