Want to give your daughter an edge on life?


teach her how to invest her money

teach her a second language

teach her how to speak in front of an audience

teach her how to stay out of debt

teach her about the consequences of unsafe sex


This is the kind of stuff she needs to be learning in school.... not what a "temperate deciduous forest" is. :roll:

Yes, petty personal economics and Office Space survival skills are more important than than 10,000 year old ecosystems and ecological and geological processes that have occurred for 4.55 billion years.

Investment and public speaking won't count for anything when your pathetic life ends with you in a box (made from taiga trees).

Actually, I think you're basically right. But I also think it doesn't hurt to have a broad understanding of topics, including this one on the eocsystem. So I teach her the stuff you have up there in bold, and the public school teaches her some stuff about ecology. Works for me! Well, I will have trouble with the second language...

neither will your memorization of these vocab words. nothing matters when you die.

on the other hand, your life will be much easier if you follow the previous advice
