[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Joking aside… what are you teaching your kids if you encourage them this way? That their honest effort at being the best of who they are will not generate a result that is good enough to make you proud? That the ends justifies the means? How can they feel safe taking risks when all that matters is the result? [/quote] You are teaching them that the system is arbitrary, opaque, and driven by many other things besides merit. All of which is true. You are teaching them that many other people are gaming the system based on their race and gender - also true. And trying to convince them that it's "wrong" to do this themselves won't get much traction. Or at least you will lose credibility if you tell your son this.[/quote]
