That's mostly what school does to children now, teaches them how to fit in by complying with very restrictive rules and how to think only in a very narrow band of information. They can't even imagine anything outside that band once modern education is done with them. Teach smallsteps how to stand out! Very hard to do.

I think if my kids do as well as I have, they will be living a very good life. Not lots of money, but enough. Solid thinking skills, open minds, an a mother who would rather lose friends than do something against her better judgement. I hope they know how to say no when it's necessary.
