[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I appreciate your sense of humor and ability to poke fun at yourself.  Everyone else is taking the light-hearted comments way too seriously!

I think during an online interview last year[b] I may have overheard my middle schooler say her favorite activity was watching tv. [/b] She still got it at that school.[/quote]

That is great. I have told my DS that he can not mention Xbox EVER in an interview or essay when they ask him what he likes to do outside of school. So much for teaching my kid honesty![/quote]

This is silly…he’s a kid (and I’m afraid to ask how young you started him on this path)…he plays Xbox (all the kids do!).  Privates are not authentic, it’s all about window dressing…[/quote]

“…started him on this path”? You mean the path of learning how to behave appropriately in certain settings, regardless of “being a kid”? Children can learn how to converse with adults in an intelligent and polite manner and still be kids. [/quote]
