Perspective: Why I don’t plan to put pressure on my kids to get straight A’s

Being a A student alone doesn't get you a successful life. School just teaches you to be a good little drone working any 9-5 till you are old enough to be promoted to a Walmart Greeter.

TLDR: because realDonaldTrump will kill us all before their college applications are due

It's about putting your best effort. If that gets you all As, then great. If not, then so be it. Your talent lies else where.

Without reading, a summary: academic success (or lack thereof) does not predict life success. Oh, and let kids enjoy life a little.

Everyone should remember that letter grades may determine the next step of an educational journey, but they are not the only thing that determines the career path in adulthood. Besides, working adults do not care about the childhood school grades of colleagues. 🙂

In hope they will get straight A without pressure?

You are describing good parenting. Developing good organization and study habits and exploring different interests and interpersonal are more important if you want to produce successful and loving people. The obsession with elite colleges is misguided.

If you don’t aim for perfection, you are right at home at the Post

When Teachers give A students an 'F' on essays for supporting PRESIDENT TRUMP we realize the schools have become nothing more then a Political Institute of behavioral brainwashing.

Works for Asian families. Oh wait..

WolfWolfshield Yeah, well, it's not about the C's either.

🤔

Oh hum.

When the other kid gets into an Ivy League school and their's don't, I'm sure they won't complain about it.

Why bother... In today's America teach the how rondress in drag and they can all start making konet as strippers when they are 11 years old... And the MSM will promote them. So a few pediphiles get to oogle your kids... No prob they are paying for the privilidge right?

With Harvard now allowing SAT scores in the 1200's in, why bother? It's truly becoming the participation trophy generation. The only 'A' anyone notices is Activism. Idiocracy

If a D is passing then that's fine with me
