[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I think liberal guilt is stupid and further not competiitve or appropriate in todays world.  [/quote]

It's not liberal guilt. It's called "compassion." You should try it.

But anyway, raising your kids in a little bubble or greenhouse is never going to make them "competitive." If you want to teach your kids to compete, send them to the local public where they will learn to fight for the teacher's attention and for a place on the sports teams. Also, at the local public they will learn how to deal with all types of people, and will be more likely to "succeed" (although I dread to think of your idea of "success"). [/quote]

You go girlfriend. Let your litt' un FIGHT for the right to be on a team ... and then feel all guilty (no compassionate) about it! So they can "succeed" with "all types of people" Yeah! I feel so happy for your kids. Go for it.[/quote]

Haha. Yup, since the DCs left their private elementary school, they have been fighting for places on the team and leadership positions in clubs in their public schools. And they got these leadership positions. And now oldest is applying to Ivies because she has the resume and the scores. You can only hope your own spoiled, sheltered brats will do this well.[/quote]
