She will learn that there are TWO sides (or more) to EVERY argument and that if she makes a choice be prepared to defend it. If that means she learns tolerance then she will.

Ok, got it!, in fact my daughter has a degree in Spanish, my grandaughter is fluent in both Castilliano and Valenciano, and my grandson is good at both as well, far more than I learnt in my youth!. So yes we have a right to be proud of them.------ This thread is Archived ------

Good stuff - but tolerance for me is something diffirent from winning debates. (Live and let live).

Tolerance is nothing to do with winning debates, by learning there are more than one side to an argument she will learn, hopefully not to be judgemental, to respect other opinions without resorting to accusations and name calling and by defending her choice she will learn not to let intellectual bullies who do make accusations and use name calling push her from a decision she has made. And if that's all she ever learns I will be proud of her.

My two are chalk and cheese, my daughter would stay out in the snow till she dropped from hyperthermia, my son wants inside if a snowflake lands on his head. Me I love the snow and the cold but my body is mounting a rebellion against it.

You can tell when I start to get steamed up, check the quality of my spelling, it really starts to deteriorate. No, I teach English as a second language (ESOL) to refugees and privately to EU citizens working in the UK so I've seen levels of spelling that would make your hair curl!
