Not to get all political on a day like today, but we can’t recall a time – at least not in recent memory – when there has been such an incredible gap between a significant subgroup’s self-image and what one might call “reality”.
PSA: parents take note. We know that your child doesn’t do very well in school. It must be tough on you to watch them try so hard just to pass. But you can’t keep telling them that it’s “the school’s fault” or that “they’re smart in other ways” or how “it doesn’t matter how well they do as long as they try”. We don’t care what the books say. There are more important things in life than “self-esteem”.
