My answer to your question: parents. And to be honest, not necessarily good ones IMO. I think there's an "ideal" middle ground between raising kids who are lazy and raising kids who have a "not good enough" complex. |
Trust me, I am very sincere on this, wooden spoon be damned! It is a priviledge to talk to a person who survived the crucible of such a reputable institution. I have so many questions!
Please understand, I've never really had the chance to attend a school of repute. I am mostly self-taught. I spent less than a semester at the University of North Texas before I became disgusted by the curriculum and quit.
I'm a little baffled by your answer, though. Parents? That's it? What makes a "middle ground"? And more importantly, what psychological and biological mechanisms dictate the actions of parents? I know that this kind of topic may not be your specialty, but I'd appreciate a thorough evaluation, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. You have no idea what your opinion means to me as a contextual basis for my own.
