Cool. We can fail to pay any teacher that goes along with it and call it a "deferred salary".
yeah, well, just like the "child" is going to have to "defer" a paycheck when he/she turns into a "deferred success" adult.
Failure isn't particularly damning for a person of character. Nobody can win every time. Sometimes a person is just off their game. I've succeeded a lot and failed a lot: both are valuable learning experiences and help people learn to cope with the real world.
Defer the rod, and your child will defer success.
As in Dumb Sh!t?
"Your son didn't learn anything this year, ma'am, I'll be DS'ing him."
And I'll be Deep Sixing the little DS until his grades show some improvement.
(My, but I'm insensitive!)
Whew.....
That's a relief.
I might be a success after all.
As a Private in the Army I was told that I put the "Suck in Sucksess" right after I failed to do enough pushups on a PT test.
I wish I could have told my Drill Instructor that I was deferring my success.
