I was wondering why so often goodness is associated with good grades? Not saying that your child isn't good AND smart, but our society puts too much emphasis on grades and education and not on the quality of the person's morals and conscience. If I had to choose, I would prefer a doofus with a heart of gold.

Good question....I have no idea. You'd have to get to know my son to understand that he is a good kid. His kindness and concern for other's has always been who he is and even if he did make bad grades in school....it wouldn't change how I feel about him. He takes after his father (thank God)! He's a natural around people and generally brings out the best in everyone....even me. :-)
