I served on the curriculum committee of our school system for years as a grandparent and communicated with the teachers that my grandchildren had. They were so great. Our grandson says that his first year of college is way easier than his high school.
Plus, the reason that the good Lord gave us all a mouth was to repeat and repeat again and again the things we believe to our children...but it isn't what we tell them. It is what we ARE that they will become.

Gracie,
YOUR children and grandchildren do well and do well because, you let them know how great they are and that they can do well.
As for the people who's children don't do well... They don't let their children know they can. They don't let their children know how special they are.
The people on this forum who don't see that the next generation CAN and WILL do great things, will have children who will be mediocre.
When you expect and know, your children will do well, they will!
I'm sorry to say that you will not convince the people who see the world otherwise, because they are making their world as they see it, as you are creating yours as you see it.
Sweetie, I would rather live in YOUR world.
