[quote=Anonymous]DH and I watched it. Interesting how parenting has changed since we were kids: Neither of our parents were so interested and helpful with schoolwork. They mostly nagged us about getting good grades. But it seems the parenting represented in the film is what is the norm now. DH and I both went to Ivies and elite private schools for grade school - hs although we are not AA. I am Asian and DH is white. I agree with Idris's mom's lament that her son does not have the same drive that she had. Told my DH that I don't want to redo elementary, middle and high school with our son, doing homework, keeping track of his work and projects. If the kid cannot manage those things himself, what's going to happen when the kid goes off to college? Interesting film. Very much worth watching.[/quote]
