A Better Way To Mutual Respect Is

One Of The Ways In Which Parenting Is A Learning Experience And An Opportunity For Moral Growth Is That We Learn As Parents That We Don't Choose The Kind Of Child That We Have.

Some Parents Expend Great Efforts To Get Their Kids Into The Right Nursery School Or The Right Preschool, With The Thought That That Will Set Them On The Path To Success, To Competitive Success Especially.

I Think The Reason We Might Hesitate To Pay Cash To Students For Doing Well On Tests Or Getting Good Grades Or Reading Books Is That We Sense That The Monetary Payment Is An Extrinsic Reward.

I Think People Who Want To Use Genetic Technologies To Gain A Competitive Edge For Their Children Are Engaging In A Kind Of Overreaching That Could Really Undermine Our Appreciation Of Children As Gifts For Which We Should Be Grateful And, Instead, To View Them As Products Or Instruments That Are There To Be Molded And Directed.

They Say The State Should Not Impose On Its Citizens A Preferred Way Of Life, But Should Leave Them As Free As Possible To Choose Their Own Values And Ends, Consistent With A Similar Liberty For Others.
