I would be concerned too. Many adult women, especially moms, fall into the trap of meeting everyone else's needs before their own and never make it to "what I need" on the to do list. Surely we don't want to ingrain this pattern in childhood? Every child has the right to be educated at school in academics as well as life lessons.

And why is it, if this is such a special way to learn leadership and important life skills, that I have never read on this board about a little boy being recruited into the same role?
