 They're not going to excel if they've never seen any adults excel. If all the adults in their life settle, please expect them to settle. Please expect them to do that. If the adults in their life esteem academics, expect them to esteem academics. If the adults in their life fill in the blank, expect them to fill in that blank. Whatever it is, okay, hello. It's what these kiddos are. Now, some of them will revolt directly against it, but at least they've got something to bounce off of.
