<<<<< my own daughter doesn't know I think she's an idiot >>>>
Oh gosh Epicure. If you honestly think that about your daughter, do you really think you can support her going to college? Kids can read us like a book! If you think that - my belief is that she is going to know you think that - not in so many words, but the felling that will not go away. Doesn't that set them up for failure?

Some kids are harder to teach than others. Those little goody two shoes girls - or boys - that sit all day long and soak up knowledge are no smarter than many of the kid who say they hate school. What they are good at is sitting still and they might even have the type of brain that retains that information - BUT they can just as well be totally worthless in their ability to apply what they have learned to the real word. Real world problems. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds. That's what I think.
