[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In America, there is such a great emphasis on success being about hard work. It's gotten to a point where we are advised not to say "Good Job" or "You are so smart!" and compliment them on their grit, and effort. Yet, some people look down so harshly when kids work hard to get where they need to be. I just don't get it. If kids work hard to get in, let it be![/quote] So true! I own a business and honestly, I would take a 'middling' kid who is a hard worker over a 'gifted' kid who isn't interested in working as hard. Hard work and persistence/determination go a long way in ANY situation - work, sports, academics.[/quote]
