Sykes offers fifty life lessons not included in the self-esteem-laden, reality-light curriculum of most schools. Here are truths about what kids will encounter in the world post-schooling, and ideas for how parents can reclaim lost ground---not with pep talks and touchy-feely negotiations, but with honesty and respect. Sykes's rules are frank, funny, and tough minded, including:#1 Life is not fair. Get used to it.#7 If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure, so he tends to be a bit edgier. When you screw up, he's not going to ask you how you FEEL about it.#15 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it \"opportunity.\"#42 Change the oil.#43 Don't let the success of others depress you.#48 Tell yourself the story of your life. Have a point.Each rule is explored with wise, pithy examples that parents, grandparents, and teachers can use to help children help themselves succeed---in school and out of it.A few rules kids won't learn in school:#9 Your school may have done away with winners and losers. Life hasn't.#14 Looking like a slut does not empower you.#29 Learn to deal with hypocrisy.#32 Television is not real life.#38 Look people in the eye when you meet them.#47 You are not perfect, and you don't have to be.#50 Enjoy this while you can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737936593184,"sku":"NEW031236038X","price":13.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61gPZg6Pc4L.jpg?v=1779578446","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/50-rules-kids-wont-learn-in-school-real-world-antidotes-to-feel-good-education-031236038x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
