It was a few years ago that Tino Xavier (I believe) had noted (quite correctly IMHO) that Kids in Goa felt an enormous pressure to do even better than the best.
here is an unfortunate story from the Times of India jc == http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1544534.cms Girl sets herself afire after failure in 12th [Tuesday, May 23, 2006 PTI] RAMANATHAPURAM: A 19-year-old girl died after she set herself afire upset over her failure in the plus-two examinations, police said here on Tuesday. After the exam results were announced on Monday, Priya doused herself with kerosene and set ablaze when she was alone in her house at Paramakudi near here. She succumbed to burn injuries on way to the government hospital in Madurai. == PS: As one who works with children, I'd suggest that we all encourage our children to do the best they possibly can, without taking them to the edge. jc _________________________________________________________________ Join the next generation of Hotmail and you could win the adventure of a lifetime http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/register.aspx _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
