I would have to agree with bad posture being a culprit. A guy I worked with a couple years back had CTS and the doctors told him it was due to some pinched nerves in his neck. To remedy the problem they told him to loose weight, get a better posture and massage his neck area when he can... though this was from a Canadian doctor, what could a government-run health care system possibly know;)
The parenting I had at home was excellent, we were going on family trips all the time, they played street sports with us whenever we wanted, encourage friends to come over, and they helped us understand - not do - our homework. Yet, I still did horrible in a lot of courses, and those courses all had teachers that didn't engage the students. They were the teachers that just stood in front of a class for hours at a time and just talked, you're were expected to take notes and that was that. How is that teaching!? The classes I did good in were ones that involved hands-on projects, let the students debate their ideas, presented the ideas in a novel way or related them to current events.
Good parenting is definitely needed, but so are good teachers!

This book is a great read, though I have version 2.0, not sure how 3.0 compares:

Anyone else think of Royal Rife when they first read this?
