Yeah, I think the people who have a problem with the show are actually "dumber" than Clarence.
Clarence started off being a show about real kids, not what adults pretend kids are. In an adults eyes, Jeff is what they strive to turn their child into, destroying their child's potential and ruining their life in the process; but Clarence is what most children actually are.
Though there are kids who have different ways of learning, which is to say that Jeff's way is what works for Jeff; most kids are going to learn by "doing stupid things" and interacting with their environment. NOT by "playing a game on your phone." "Learning" useless stuff like Math, Science and English at a young age is pointless; encouraging the child to develop it's imagination and gain the infinitely more powerful capacity to make connections between unlike ideas to derive new ideas will create that one of a kind engineer or doctor.
And yes, I am serious, Math and Science are absolutely worthless in the real world. If all you NEEDED was Math and Science then "I" could write a computer program to do your job. The real issue is ingenuity, creativity, intuition; a grasp of the things you were never taught but can see it working based on what you already know. Creative Genius goes a long way in this world, and you don't get there by taking away a child's "creativity."
