I think this probably exactly right, Leslie. Thanks for putting that out there!






I heard that "well-rounded" came from the days of the leisure upper
classes.
They had little else to do with their time except learn to make good
social
conversation. Being a well-rounded person, being able to converse on
a wide
range of topics, was important (so you weren't bored stiff!).

The middle classes always wanted what the upper had, so when the middle
class started to become "educated", they believed they wanted
well-rounded too.
Plus, it is a great time filler in school.

So well-rounded, unless it is a personal goal, is just an intellectual
superiority complex and a keep-up-with-the-jones' mentality.

Leslie in SC, brought up to be well-rounded (and achieved it
physically!)
