It’s 2020, absolutely nothing should still be using Flash. /rant
Yeah…lots of these school lessons use it. I think a pop-up at the top of my browser said something like Flash would not be supported after Dec 2020…
Google is taking out support for it in Chrome, I figure Mozilla will be or is doing the same with Firefox.
Doesn’t make the software industry catch up it seems though.
If you want to run Cisco WebEx (teleconferencing software) under Linux, they tell you you need to install a 32bit Firefox, 32bit Java and Flash.

@Aginor those were great posts. You changed my course. I showed them to my wife and she agrees. Your point on trust is well made and hit home like a GBU-24. Thanks mate!
By the way, mine are almost the same age as yours, 3 and 6. You going bonkers too? 
Hmmm…my son is 29…and works at the NSA…yeah…he’s probably figured out how to get around those Child Blocks by now…just say’n 
My daughter, 3, managed to circumvent the tablets kids’ mode today. You think she’ll have a future in SIGINT? 
This. So much this.
Sometimes, yeah. But I am lucky with my firstborn, she is very calm usually. So far she has really been an “easy mode” child. knocks on wood
And since you mention learning:
What I really underestimated (but learned) is how clever they really are. Many people hear questions from their kids and don’t bother to answer properly because they think “nah, they won’t understand it anyway”. Kids (YMMV but I think there is at least some general truth to this) are not dumb, they just don’t know much yet. I learned that if I explain things building on knowledge which they already have, a four year old can grasp concepts pretty quickly, and have an astonishingly long attention span if the topic is interesting.
That really makes up for the times when they just run around screaming and being defiant for no apparent reason. 
Forever an underrated statement, as this is how we all got here!
When my eldest was in his “why”-phase I just gave him the full scientific explanations to the questions he asked to the best of my knowledge. I’d look it up if I didn’t and keep explaining the things he didn’t get until he lost interest. You are right about the amazing attention spans they can be capable of.
Why is the sky blue? What is death? stuff like that could fill entire afternoons. “Why do things fall” was epic. It ended up with a “I’m sorry son, all of humanity only have a detailed way to describe gravity, but what it really is we just don’t know.”
…when my son asked that question I just told him “There is no gravity. The Earth sucks.”
… thinking I’m not in the running for Mudspike Father of the Year…
“I was teaching him to find reputable sources on his own.”
…In today’s world, there could be a medal for that! 
There is; it’s called a “degree.”
Degree for Youth Google Search Education? They have one for everything.
And the price paid proves it!
