[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So absolutely absurd to not push kids to do advanced stuff. Especially since some average people are deciding the standards.

Push your kids to do well in school, on screener tests, and everywhere, becait will make them better at the end. They will learn about themselves the most.

Go for Algebra in 7th, even in 6th if you can.

LA should have better acceleration too.

Totally agree.  Parents who don’t do this are fools. [/quote]

dp Parents who push their children past their breaking points just to please their parents are fools.  Would you want your teen to die by suicide because the extreme pressure you parents put them under?  That you have to be perfect?  Are you perfect?  Or human?  Wanting your child to do the best they can isn't being foolish.  Love the child you have not the one you want.[/quote]

Mold them into the child you want! [/quote]

I'm the OP of this thread:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1067220.page

and I 100% agree that you can mold your kids into the child you want. I don't love my kid the way he naturally is -- lazy, uninclined to challenge himself, not willing to push beyond his comfort zone. I made it clear to him that I will only love and support my kid if he tries his best at academics and everything he's involved in (irrespective of achievement). If not, I told him that I am ready to take away every comfort and privilege we have for him.

Kids in the DMV are too spoiled. Too sheltered, resilient, and lack grit. They don't know how to keep trying at something they're naturally bad at. [/quote]

You are incredibly sick.  You withhold love from a child when they don’t try hard enough at the things you deem important? Yikes. They will either hate your guts, or be empty shells by the time they’re free of you.  [/quote]
