Meaning of a sentence. #1 (permalink) Sat Jul 12, 2008 17:54 pm   Meaning of a sentence.		  
Hello, I have some problem with this sentence. I don't understand its meaning.
Please help me.
"The truth is, today's kids may be contributing more than parents are GIVING THEM CREDIT FOR."
Thank you very much.

Meaning of a sentence. #2 (permalink) Sat Jul 12, 2008 18:22 pm   Meaning of a sentence.		  
Hi,
The sentence is really confusing and I don't think it's clearly and well written.
The kids are contributing more than their parents can perceive.
The parents are unaware about the real level of contribution that their kids are providing to/for something.
Just a student.
Regards.

.

I think, on the contrary, the sentence is clear as day. Give someone credit for something means to acknowledge their accomplishment(s).
