Thread: Australia : Seeing red over scarlet-marked homework

Forcing children to make their beds in the morning also injures their self esteem. And anything less than perfect grades -- it's just painful. And acne, and puberty -- all the parents and teachers' fault. Our society is letting them down.

WTF is going on in this world? IMO, kids today require more discipline, attention, adherence to rules, not less. The shit started going pear-shaped when parents and teachers decided to be the kids' friends instead of their mentors and role models. Now we're left with dysfunctional retards that are far less capable of successfully striking out on their own after 12 years of school than kids 20 years ago.

nothing left to add, all of the comments so far state my position... it's over the top with this PC, tread lightly thinking it's like a contest to determine who can out do the other person with the most inane approach to educating and raising the worlds children..
