If the family expects A's they will probably get them if the child is capable. This probably holds true only in families that are "real" families. My son is 33 - he has never done anything in his life that would make me anything other than proud of him - I hope he can say the same about me.

Sorry to bug in on the conversation LiquorDealer, but are parents who tend to have liberal ideals incapable of high expectations for their children? They are willing to accept less?
I know you are debating media/parental influence, but nothing you just brought up supports why you answered above that conservative leaning individuals are less likely to raise hooligans. Conservative people love their kids and expect more of them? Come on. I'm sorry, I just don't see any relationship.
