[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never describe your kid as athletic, creative, talented, artistic, musical either. Heaven forbid![/quote] It's not the same. Not even close.[/quote] Why not? Academic ability should count in the mix[/quote] I understand this. It is part of the anti-intellectualism. My theory is people understand deep down that being smart is more essential than being athletic and artistic. They feel free to praise people based on their other talent but balk at ranking people base on intellect. This is the one aspect they want to pretend everyone is equal. [/quote]
