You mean by that they are able to come and attend our university (UBC) because of their academic achievements, buy up local properties, exotics cars and rustle a lot of people on this board's jimmies as bonus??
All parents want what's the best for their kids.. I mean how else can you explain Sherlock is a popular name in China?? (though I suspect Donald will be next year). You only have 1 chance do it right and well use your best judgement and let it roll.

Ok looking at my cousins report cards (if that's what you still want to call it). There are no grades, no % marks. All it saids was some comments like what you did good in and what area you need to improve on. The teachers can't fail anyone unless you are like super super bad. Because it hurts the kids' confident if we fail them. LIKE WTF. If you aren't good enough to pass then you fail. Is that simple. Why do we have to sugar coat everything. It will be worse for the kids if they graduate but aren't suppose to because they won't make it into any college/university or even land a job? Then they come to this reality that they are crap and useless so they can either go back to adult night school which waste more time or they leech off their parents everyday playing games, going on social media and compplain.
That's exactly the point
confidence of a child is important, but somehow they need to learn the consequences of failure and that's a very important part of life
if you're worried about the younger generation learning stupid fucking straits,i noticed parents set up them for private schooling to somewhat keep them away from the ghetto ass ghetto trash people who tend to bully and what not....not that you're completely safe from it,but less bullshit.

Absolute scrap.
I bought a archer ac 1750 v2 6 months ago it was a frailer from day 1 loosing signal on 2.4 and 5 ghz, continually rebooting and restoring to fact. defaults got ahold of support I did everything they asked me to do and no resolve. So after complaining they sent me a new 1 archer ac 1750 v 2.0 nothing has changed same issues. Its great if you have a new shotgun and need a target, or a paper weight if its windy. I RECOMEND THIS ROUTER TO NO ONE!!!
Saw this on Home Depot's site when looking up router reviews on a TP-Link Archer C7. The only review that got a one star. All others were 5 star ratings............ nuff said.
How many errors can you find?

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.

I find that one/two star reviews tend to be written by people who can barely put together a sentence let alone be using whatever products they ordered.

Not to mention being emotionally charged doesn't help with the writing process.

I like a quantitative report card over a % based one, isn't it more useful to know what you're good at and need improvement on? It has nothing to do with the report card type chosen (% or words)
I don't see how descriptive report cards means that everyone passes. The comment should say:
-your child is good at: nothing
-and not good at: everything
The best companies will be the ones who will build long-term relationships with their millennial employees who comprise a majority of the workforce now and in the future.
It's up to the managers and leaders of these companies to effectively manage, nay, build sympathetic relationships with these millennials.
Benefits like flexible hours, free therapy sessions, mandatory "get togethers" mini-trips, etc. will differentiate a mediocre company culture from a fantastic one.
To be honest, it's hard to square the noble objective of investing and nouturing the under-30 crowd when we, as shareholders, demand ever increasing returns and refuse to hold companies as long term plays unless they deliver those returns. We reap what we sew.
The thing that will wake up the under-25 crowd is when some decide to have children of their own. They'll grow up pretty quick when that happens.
I'd like to mention that not all millenials are like that, and that not all baby boomers are wealthy supervisors/managers. There will always be a spread of human work ethic, grit, determination, and perseverance. As well as stupidity.
It is all normal distributions with our human biases layered over it.
It is much more efficient to toil with your own head down, rather toil by telling people to keep their head down.
