It's All The Parents' Fault
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Via the 2007 Brookings Report "How Well are American Students Learning":In a 1996 Gallup Poll, parents were asked to pick between the following: their oldest child being a straight-A student with only a few friends and extracurricular activities, or a C student with a lot of friends and extracurricular activities. By a two to one margin, they picked the busy, socially active C student.
I'm coining a new phrase: Parental Malpractice.

hmmm...i gotta say, I really hate this choice. but if you asked me what I'd want for my kids? I really might pick the latter if only because getting straight A's in primary and secondary school is mostly about being obedient.
