One more warning.
OK, here goes.
Last night, Luke and I were driving home from soccer practice when I saw a bumper sticker that to me embodies much of what is wrong with society these days. Here it is:
Of course I am proud of my kids and I will love them unconditionally forever - I am a parent HOWEVER, does that mean that I shouldn't strive to have them achieve? Has the world been taken over by the "we don't keep score" and "we are all winners" folks?
News flash: The world keeps score and not everyone wins. That's right - I said it. Kids need to learn this valuable lesson and as much as we may not want to admit it, excelling in school and learning the value of competition will give them a leg up later in life. My job is to make sure they have every advantage they can so they have options later in life and that starts by doing well in school.
And people wonder what is wrong with the world today?
