How are we supposed to maintan our sense of superiority in a world full of fifteen year-old college students?<BR/>I think it is time to start holding them back, perhaps by creating a mediocre worksheet and test based curriculum in the public schools...suburbankamikazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524409609989449455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469880.post-49193638052362417292007-03-28T09:02:00.000-04:002007-03-28T09:02:00.000-04:00Paulita--Thanks for the link!I completely understa...Paulita--<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link!<BR/><BR/>I completely understand where you are coming from with the "pushing." I don't think that we are doing kids a favor by teaching things earlier. We are setting them up for disappointment later in life. What happens when they have to wait for the promotion or have financial obligations that require them to work tedious jobs? Should we be pushing them to do more faster?<BR/><BR/>Quite frankly, I just turned 30, am not happy with my life, and don't know how to fix it. Part of my problem stems from the "do more" attitude I had in college and high school. The real world doesn't work that way.<BR/><BR/>Or, at least, mine doesn't.Stacie Penneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128147841617874793noreply@blogger.com
