FWIW, I don't think that the poster you're quoting was suggesting your attitudes harmed your child.  She was just pointing out that the bragging rights/engineering your kid's life rhetoric wasn't a fair response to a parent who grew up elsewhere and was simply asking "how do things work here?"

That said, my take was that you were responding to the responses and offering OP a different perspective/approach rather than slamming her for asking the question.

FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree with the encourage your kid to do things s/he finds meaningful and to do them well advice. [/quote]

Industry person here: yes, that is what I meant. Also--OP needs the process operationalized, not parenting advice, which came off as obnoxious with "the problem with this thread....".  I also find it offensive because we don't know the country or culture of the OP. Give her the info she or he needs [b]without putting US values/ideas [/b]on to them about what they are doing wrong in your eyes.  [/quote]  Therein lies a big racist problem--the assumption that US values are non-educational and other cultures/races care about education.  You might want to check yourself.[/quote]

???

Sorry to say, you sound clinically insane.

This thread is not a very good fit for you.[/quote] The insane person is the one who lumps all Americans into having one set of educational standards and all foreign born individual as having another.  That is about as bigoted as it comes.[/quote]
