42. I didn't see this as a put-down, but a dose of reality.
I had a student once who was so convinced he was going to be a star NFL quarterback. He was 80 pounds dripping wet. And the laziest kid on the planet, as were his parents. He wasn't even on a football team! This kid wasn't being realistic. If you have a goal, you need to be realistic and plan for that goal. Telling children that they need to focus on their education and be open to all things is a dose of reality.
