I'm in school systems every day for my job. Ask any kid from 2nd grade to college what they think about a certain issue/problem and they echo what they hear on social media or the news. Ask them what their own opinion is and why and they look at you with a blank stare.

When I was young, my father used to drill us on the multiplication tables at dinner. I have 3 siblings. He would pick one of us each night and then pick a number. What ever it was, you had to recite the table rapid fire to the beat of his hand on the table. 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84.
Talk about pressure at 7 years old. |
😂My mom was an elementary school teacher. My experience was similar to yours and grades less than a B+ was met with a "What is wrong with you" attitude. I guess that is why we are successful and some others are not.....
