[quote=Anonymous] We live in an expensive suburb and I honestly didn't get the stereotypes. Sure I encountered an outlier obnoxious parent now and then, but you can find that anywhere. Now that my older child is in upper elementary, I so get it. A few pleasant parents have gone to the dark side-obsessed with grades (which are still just numbers 1-4 mind you), obsessing over TJ and pushing to get their kid into the advanced groups. You can see it taking it's toll on their kids. Yes, this is an age where kids can get beastly, but I don't think it helps to have parents so hyperfocused on being the best student and athlete without much focus on things like kindness, manners, integrity and good character. Yes, these things are not mutually exclusive and many many parents do care about raising good and kind humans, but OMG I have had some conversations within the past few weeks which made me want to run for the hills. #kindnessmatters #charactercounts [/quote]
