[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] FWIW, we raise our kids to consider not participating in events that they think are unfair or discriminatory, not just to blindly accept these invitations "graciously" because they must "get through said event with poise anyway." [/quote] She was socially savvy and knew that attendance at a school party for kids with good grads = nerd.[/quote] No, actually, she was socially savvy enough to recognize and be uncomfortable with the Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" divisive nature of this "reward." She didn't think it was fair that she should be rewarded for something that comes easily to her and for which she gets a lot of support at home, while her friends who work much harder and don't have as much home support are not rewarded. FWIW, she actually takes pride in being a "nerd" or "geek," as do many kids in the magnet. [/quote]
