Cash Rewards for Good Grades?

Trying to totally dictate someone's future is a fool's errand.  But learning a foreign language early is easier (like going transgender ), so whether it wound up a hard-skill advantage or just a party trick, I wouldn't say it was totally wasted.

Also, there's the possibility that it could open up mating opportunities with well-off people from the culture whose language she learned.  I dunno how good that idea is (subject to many factors and individual assessment, but I suspect that there's a good chance I'd be mildly opposed to marrying outside of Western civilization), but it could help if that's the direction she believed was the most advantageous to her well-being and comfort.

Yeah but couldn't she equally likely be served by the analysis skills she picked up in history and English classes?

No need for bribery yet on my end. Although the twins are rapidly tiring of homework.

AND WHO THE HELL GIVES KINDERGARDENERS HOMEWORK? Still annoys me. It wasn't until jr high that I got homework. Fucking educational system.

Still don't get that shit at all.  I remember getting homework in 2nd grade.

Actually, Ide, if being more realistic, how likely would it be that this daughter of yours would be having dealings in other countries?

I've been trying to ignore these little barbs.  I'd awfully rather you knocked it off.

Hey I was the one saying that she could probably be successful so she wouldn't need to aim low.

I just wouldn't want my kid to believe she can be/do anything.  That kind of thinking clouds the judgment.  It works out for some, and we celebrate them.  It destroys others, and we revile them.  I would want her to be able to be satisfied and content, instead of living a life incongruent with her self-image, because that's what really fucks a person up.

I doubt it.

The fairborn ohio school system was run by retarded apes.

Hell, the entire city government was too. And still is.

Maybe not that retarded. Homework for second graders is retarded. I remember not doing any until jr high also--not because it wasn't assigned though.
