Children

All children are different so why does society try to fit all of them into one big group? As said in "Raising a Moral Child" it is better to award or praise the behavior because it will make the child a better person morally. Instead of yelling at the child you could say "do you think that was a good choice?" Now whether the child learns or not may be up to what example you set as their parent. Kids are mirrors and sponges, they absorb what they see or hear and then project out the same thing. Knowing this makes me more aware of what I say and do around my brother who is six years old.
In the article "Parental Involvement is Overrated" many valid points are made such as parents hindering learning and that parents should limit their involvement. My mom is a math teacher so when I ask for help she explains it another way in which I was not taught leaving me more confused then when I started. Therefore I do agree with the article, parents that are involved, although are trying to be helpful, are holding their kids back from their true potential.
Kids are kids why can't they be kids now a days? The government says that every child is the same, not all are and they should be learning at their pace, not the pace the government says they should be.
