I have a friend who lives in Irealand. She only writes at christmas
and keeps me up with what her children (all grown now) are doing.
They all went to ps and all have qualificatins and degrees and have
won scholarships to study in America and taught english in French
schools. These children are the same age as my older children. I am
very proud of my childrens attainments - none did well at school -
but all have succedded in life. So why does this friend make me feel
as though her children are better than mine - Oh! she doesnt do it
intentionally.
I feel the same way about h/s ing. We do hear so much about how
succeful h/s ers are, that we expect miracles from our own children -
acedemically miracles. When my dd has no interest in anything much
at all, I wonder why...... why isnt she like all these other h/s
children who greed for knowledge......

I loved grandma on the computer!!!!!
