Document Summary

We hurry them because we want the best for them: achievement overload. Largely the middle class parents who have achievement overload. Bring them up in terms of social status. Children who are generous should be seen as well but since we are so focused on materialism we begin to push and hurry them incorrectly. All children reading on par by the fourth grade. Children who do have to work hard because they are the grinders do better in university don t have to be gifted to be successful: school hurrying children. Undermining education when we tell kids to stay home from school when the test comes. We are more concerned with grades instead of what we are actually learning. Not so interested in the job as to the amount of money that it is being paid counter productive. Lots of cheating and dishonesty with regards to this. Manipulation of the system all the way along.
