“A bunch of things you cannot measure on a report card”.
What it seems like to me.. is the subtle brainwashing into making a young child a “good” citizen. Think about it.. gratitude? So, the child needs to always say thank you no matter what? Never voice a disagreeing opinion. Sensitivity to others? Sounds basic until you realize the broader social aspects.. i.e. never disagreeing with another person’s lifestyle, dress, behavior, etc.. My point is that all these grades(gratitude, grit, sensitivity to others) are very subjective. A 95 on a math test is an A.
Future IRS officials working there: “We took all your money, spent it how we liked and gave you some crumbs, we demand gratitude!!”
