[quote=ctr70]I thought that was a GREAT article! One that we all can learn a lot from. About having high standards.[/quote]
Again – I think that is the positive aspect of the article: expecting more from kids and believing they can do it.
However, the downside is the negative techniques used to get them to perform better.
They don’t go hand in hand, as the author would lead us to believe.
You can believe in your kids, encourage them to perform well beyond a level they would expect from themselves, but teach them in a more positive manner.
“Tact” is not an option, apparently. My favorite definition of “tact” is “making a point without making an enemy.”
