[Nfbf-l] State School

[Kirk]

Jodie, I agree with you that our younger generations as a whole are getting 
worse and worse as in this mans opinion they have been given more rights but 
less discipline. Without the proper amount of discipline the youth lost 
their respect for  teachers, parents, and authority as a whole. Without 
respect of authority they then don't feel like they have to learn and end up 
as lost adults wondering what went wrong! It is a true shame that we have 
gotten so soft with our younger generations that we are creating 
generrations of lost youth that has no clue as to what to do on their own to 
succeed or even survive for that matter! It's a true American tragedy! KH

Hi Kirk,

Unfortunately, you can say the same thing about the general population of
kids now a days with over protective doting parents that micro manage all
aspects of their lives.

I know my granddaughter has a terrible sense of direction because she is
driven every where she goes.  My kids walked with me every where and learned
their way around town.  Maybe this was a good thing I didn't drive.

Another positive that came out of having a blind mother was that when we
went shopping I made finding things in the store a treasure hunt made even
more exciting by adding things the kids liked like animal crackers.  I would
have them find the sugar, drink boxes etc and they were involved in
shopping.  I went shopping with my daughter in law when my granddaughter was
little and she just sat in the cart bored.  She was getting cranky so I got
her out of the cart and had her treasure hunt with me.  She was so excited
and from that day on she helped her mom shop.
