No, they'd be wrong.

Mrs Wave may have some insight into that...

Yeah, right......

So... an easy multiple choice question...

Is today(posting date):

A) Wednesday
B) February 6th
C) the 37th day of the year
D) Bob Marley Day

choose the most correct answer. First graders in Miss Mary's class
will have no problem with the right answer, will you?

PS

If you are smart enough to get this, you will also understand what is
so wrong with "No Child Left Behind."


And what is that?

This IS the same guy that told me just last week I was a bad parent
because my kid would not "talk back" to a teacher. Pfffffttt. why do
you bother with this guy...? He is just making most of it up anyway..

=============================


You are a simple man, remember? So simple that you can't understand how a
kid earns privileges as the years pass.

Now, go make like a puppy and lick your genitals. Your master will come
along soon to rescue you from your latest morass.


So Krausish. I suppose it's what you do best.

And you complain that your kid won't do chores when told.

Did he ever learn to fight his own battles? Do you get involved every
time
he disagrees with a teacher.

I guess so. You're always right, and you taught him, so he must be
always
right also.

Good for you.

At 11, would you let YOUR kids talk back to adults? If you can find out
where your kids live, ask them if they remember.

This is about one week, one summer, one year. But, if you can explain how
you came up with "all his life", maybe I'll entertain your bizarre theory.


This is the example you've chosen for now. Last week it was a different
one, the week before a different one. My question remains, did he ever
learn to fight his own battles? Will you be there every time he has a run
in with authority? Sure hope to hell he doesn't join the Marines.

He was taught to question and/or torment authority at exactly the right age
when he was able to do it successfully. He's done it quite well.

I'll tell you right now, my kids haven't been taught that if someone
higher ranking (someone with authority) wants them to do something
that they aren't comfortable with, or think is wrong, to not do it
just because of that person's authority. My kids have been taught not
to goose-step, that it's perfectly within their rights to say no.

I think all of us teach our kids the same way, then again to choose
their battles too. Problem here is some posters who tell us how we
should raise our kids, even down to specific situations which they
have little knowledge... then tell us stories that tell us they do not
live up to their own expectations. Second problem is those who would
address such drivel....
