here's an important question to ask yourself: if you had to choose, would you rather your children be kind, or smart?

I've seen smart, but unkind people learn to be kind over time. I doubt a kind halfwit can learn to be smart. That's presumably the case because smartness defines your general ability to learn, change and adapt.
If this happens being kind may indeed make you more employable than being smart.
(Caveat: as I argued in another post, smart person still has an advantage: she can generally learn other skills including being kind easier than a not-so-smart person)
