<p>Humility is a virtue; so is honesty. Wasn’t it Aristotle who pointed out that virtues must have balance and that extremes weren’t desirable either? It’s all situational to the fact pattern at hand. Nothing wrong with being proud of your kid, as long as it is tempered with allowing others space to be proud of their kids’ accomplishments too. Be it scholastic, athletic, or artistic…most every one has glowed with pride about their offspring at some point and about something. I pity the child whose parents aren’t proud. It’s all about Aristotles balance IMHO.</p>
<p>And CCSniper, I know of 8-10 kids of all races and ethnicities who made over 2300 on their SATs. A pretty diverse, intelligent bunch. ;-)</p>
