Doesn’t communism and socialism frown upon all competition? I remember this self esteem crap in the early eighties when my children were young. I continued to insist that my children:
1. Edit their writing as they go along not after
2. Memorize their multiplication tables
3. Learn to do basic math in their heads
4. Reject the “everyone’s a winner” garbage
They are successful adults now; not like many of their peers whose parents accepted this rubbish.
Oh and by the way, I also (gasp) SPANKED!!!
