I know what you mean about schools setting our kids up to feel lousy about themselves--my son comes home now all the time & tells me he's a bad student. I try to counteract that message he's getting, but I also worry I sometimes am inadvertantly setting him up too in the subtle things I say & do. Oh, to be able to do this life thing right! Sigh.<br />I hope you enjoy the book! I'm still in the beginning pages myself & it's very interesting to see Pip's "setting up". <br />Take care & thanks again!Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291691882471442911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055182688845716432.post-61291361696962054582011-10-14T11:20:18.286-05:002011-10-14T11:20:18.286-05:00Now this is a very interesting post.

I am thinking of so many friends, right now, who I suspect feel just the same way.<br /><br />This whole idea is one of the biggest reasons for my decision to homeschool my kids -- so that they can hopefully avoid some of the societal pressure to prove their worth by their earning power, or by the 'status' of their chosen field. I want them to be happy. If that means they set up a little kayak rental place here on the coast, or spend ten years exploring farming in the prairies, cool.<br /><br />Because of your post, I'm gonna go read Great Expectations! I've never picked it up though I think I own a copy.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.com
