I don't understand this:
"We wanted to try to do no more for our child than other people were doing for theirs, because that was bad for both parent and kid, but we felt guilty doing too much less."
They seriously are _trying_ not to do more for their children than others?
So, since one of the criteria they mentioned in the article was the percent of students on the free/reduced cost lunch, will they start underfeeding their child because most of their classmates are probably undernourished?
- afuchs 7y agoNo, this seems to be a misreading of the article. They want to do everything they can to make their child succeed, and also feel bad that the opportunities their child has are not available to other children because of those children's socioeconomic status Someone can have two conflicting opinions at the same time. Everything in the world is not black and white, or all or nothing. Different things can have both good and bad parts that go with them.
