Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I think people tend to blame kids for things that are the fault of schools. I know of a very mediocre school where the admins have poor judgment, and the kids have developed all kinds of problems (in part because small problems are handled badly, and get worse). Their preschool is excellent, and the kids behave well there and everything is great. Then the fools running the lower school take over with these same children, and it is a disaster. By second grade there is so much misbehavior, and the kids by then really do have behavior problems. Academic performance is quite mediocre too, and the admins are trying to send many out for evals for potential disabilities (and adhd). The school thinks what they need to improve is better students, but I think they are kidding themselves. So I say, look also at that "peer group" which makes up the administration of the school.
