Do leftists still believe in the educational self-esteem movement?

Question

Even though it has been thoroughly discredited?

Self esteem is an iffy concept at best. Many, many millionaires are very humble people while many serial killers and other sociopaths have a very high opinion of themselves. Ted Bundy thought he was all that and a bag of chips.

Answer 1

You're getting things mixed up here pal. First of all, leftists and self-esteem have nothing to do with each other, unless of course there's some lefties that have high self-esteem or whatever... but I know plenty of conservatives who have and promote high self esteem. That said, self esteem and arrogance are two different things. Ted Bundy and other sociopaths are generally arrogant.

Answer 2

the same liberals who support that also support doping up their kids when they get too energetic

Answer 4

Are you a parent in need of advice? If not, become one, the best you can be,  and hopefully you won't ask the question again. Just for your info, it's about giving love, doing the right thing, empowering your child..

By the way, I believe both extreme leftists and rightists have lots of self-esteem issues!

Answer 5

you spent a lot of time on that small bus didn't you?....edit....Actually I agree with you totally, we do some dumb things in the name of compassion.

Answer 6

Hey there was a huge movement in the 1930's with people who agree with you.

The national socialists believed if you break someone of their self esteem, they will follow the state whole heartedly. In addition to replacing books with, military drills, the national socialists (n***s) also killed the head of each family, so a person would have no choice but to rely on the state.

Self esteem is a horrible advisory to control.

But for me, I will continue to give my boy all the support and confidence he can to have a high self esteem. You're welcome to break your kid I suppose, although that sort of shows your quality of parenting.

I do,  and I hope the rerst of us also
