[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 497682, member: 1233"] Where was all this worry about our self esteems when I was a kid? NONE of my teachers gave a dang if I had self esteem. If I wanted self esteem I could work hard and accomplish something - that would give me self esteem. I didn't need someone to give me pity points so that I didn't flunk. I really feel sorry for kids in schools today. Those who work hard to get good grades then see kids who do NOTHING pass and even get good grades like As so that they will have self esteem but who worries about the kids who do the work? Those kids know their grades don't mean anything. Otherwise they wouldn't give them to kids who don't do the work. I don't see why ANY kid, including my own, has an incentive to do what a teacher wants them to. They are going to pass no matter what, so why bother? If they just do whatever they want whenever they want they will still get good enough grades to go to college. Grrrrrrrr. [/QUOTE]
