[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is still learning to read and is almost 7, but he has improved alot recently. Several people in our family have advanced degrees. My dad's mother was told by his kindergarten teacher he would amount to nothing and he has a PhD. Rome was not built in a day.[/quote] What is it with teachers who tell this to student/parents? One of my good friend's parents were told this -- in the late 80s/early 90s as my friend is about 35. Friend did just fine for himself -- went to Wharton, worked at Goldman Sachs for a while, and then transitioned to mortgage banking, so arguably amounting to nothing in his case meant going to a top b-school, top investment bank, and getting involved in the sector of the economy which has been one of the most influential in the last 6-7 yrs.[/quote]
