Honor rolls do dishonor to many
- Cincinnati Enquirer

Students with these abilities may be less likely to develop them fully if acclaim goes only to those who excel by traditional measures.

What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel.
