Do you worry how they'll compete in university admissions interviews -- and the real world -- when you ask yourself:

  • Why can't they make eye contact when I'm talking to them?
  • Do they have to slouch all the time?
  • I wish they'd speak up.  I can barely hear what they're saying.
  • When I ask  a question, can they please answer instead of ignoring me?
  • Why are they still eating like slobs?
  • What's that smell?  When was the last time they showered?
