[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being sociable, friendly and engaging with classmates/teachers, a contributor in the classroom, is much more important than people realize.

Teachers talk amongst each other, "Oh you have Jimmy next year?  He's a great kid."

The more community-oriented and outgoing the kid is, the likelier their reputation will smooth the way for great recommendations and other soft support.[/quote]

So, basically, you’re promoting extroverted kids only? If a student is quiet by nature, they are perceived as not friendly and not contributing?

I hate it that teachers are so shallow.[/quote]

DP My kids went to a lot of schools in a lot of different states, and a wide variety of schools. We found this happens more in bad public schools and in good southern private schools.

The best school for my deep thinker was an elite private that took great pride in being intellectual.

I have some wild teacher stories. [/quote] Do tell[/quote]
