Maybe some parents think it's a better idea to accept their kid for who they are rather than be constantly pushing them. That seems like a miserable life for both parent and child, to me, and I don't see why it would be worth it.

As long as the child is not completely falling apart and ruining their future, maybe good enough is good enough. Most people are in fact average, and maybe to some people that's not a bad thing. [/quote]

Such bologna, high school is incredibly easy. If it doesn't come naturally to your children you have to teach them how to adapt. Of course it's far easier just to give up and rationalize that "not every kid can get As."[/quote]

Have you never met a child with intellectual disabilities? Severe processing delays in one or more modes? Heath problems? Or even just a child who is incredibly resistant to structured schooling? Kids, like all people, are individuals. Different kids will have different personalities, different talents, and different levels of potential. Surely you don't honestly think everyone has the exact same experiences and can be treated like cookie-cutter blank slates to be shaped exactly as you wish.[/quote]
