[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a wealthy part of Los Angeles where there's a lot of self made success. The knock-on effect is that there's lots of students at my kid's HS who have no ambition and as a result they have bad grades / fail classes and so on. They are going to graduate into wealth but without any ambition. It's weird and I think its a particular cultural quirk of the neighborhood we live in.[/quote] I worked for a guy in LA who did fairly decently with his small business. He wasn't very smart, but he was into fitness and sports. He didn't care about his kids' grades, but he cared a lot about their athletic abilities to the point he held two of his kids back so that they would be stronger and better athletes during recruiting season. [/quote] Yeah. I have seen that too. None of these kids are athletic though, some are horribly overweight (the boys) and so on. [/quote]
