Quotes
[last lines]
[Worf had considered sending Alexander to a Klingon school]
Lieutenant Worf: Klingon schools are designed to be difficult. The physical and mental hardships faced by the students are meant to build character and strength. However - if you wish to face a greater challenge, you may stay here with me. It would not be easy - for either of us. But perhaps we can face the challenge together.
Alexander Rozhenko: I accept your challenge, Father. I will stay.
Lieutenant Worf: I believe your mother would be pleased.

Dull. Klingon parenting lesson. Ugh

This is a mind numbing episode. Its central theme is a lesson in parenting. But why? I can't conceive of a duller story concept for a sci-fi show. Sure, there's a bit of token sci-fi thrown in too, but not enough to save it.

If you choose to skip this episode you will lose nothing and arguably have an overall much better experience with the show.
