Overall I agree, but maybe the person you're replying to just enjoys it.

My mother in law was a preschool teacher. Parents would ask when they would learn to spell, math, etc. She would say: after they learn to wait their turn in line and stop eating the paste.

My mom's favorite story is my oldest brother could read going into kindergarden. She told the teacher, who then asked: but does he know where he lives? Nope, he didn't.
