[quote=Anonymous]The best thing to help a kid's social well being is a good education. Self-esteem is very important in learning. A negative attitude is not helpful. Remember [i]The Little Engine that Could[/i]? Telling kids that they are going to have a tougher time because of their color and that they are victims is not going to help them learn. Telling other kids that they have privilege and need to understand that others have been treated poorly and that we must treat them differently because of that is not going to help them either. That does not mean that history is not taught--the good and the bad. But, don't leave out the good and emphasize the bad. We had some men with great ideas who founded this country. The country was founded on their ideas. This foundation has made this country a magnet for over two hundred years. Why? Because of the opportunities afforded. But, when the government becomes the parent, those opportunities diminish.[/quote]
