calamitous Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Parents don't have a brag board because I guess that is our job. But it is amazing to me how all of a sudden thinks fall together for our kids. Dance has helped DD learn about being disciplined in her studies and life, and the return on her effort has been amazing. This week her dance class, which is mixed grades from 7 to 9 (may even be some 10th) were told they would be allowed to audition for the school's performance company. (DD is a 7th grader who only started dancing when she got to the schoolo in 4th grade.) then she was invited to join the honors society acadmically. Many students and parents find success bredds success its just too bad more children and families can't discover this. Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted February 18, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Nope, you don't! Now seriously, do you really think you need one? Just think about it. Quote Link to comment
BW Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Absolutely don't need one because the parents actually have a "brag board" built right here, within their very own forum. Quote Link to comment

Babsaroo Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I keep going back to when I joined this forum. Major Johnson posted that this board should be like a Victorian Tea Party with all the manners, respect and courtesy one would experience at such an event. I've always liked that. And when I think of that party, I don't see bragging as being acceptable or appreciated by others in attendance. Modesty comes to mind. We have an international membership with a variety of ages, culture expectations, experiences, talent, securities and insecurities. Using manners and respect allows a feeling of acceptance and hospitality....we can't go wrong with that. Quote Link to comment
