We aren't teaching our kids how to deal with issues that might effect them.
We aren't teaching our children how to cope.
We aren't teaching our children how to problem solve.
And we sit back and wonder why our kids are so ####ing messed up.

Living in a PC culture creates unnatural stresses on children.
We're raising kids to some artificial "social-construct" ideal of what children should be.
Some academics, somewhere, sitting in their god-damned ivory towers have determined that children should learn a certain way, behave a certain way, react a certain way, respond a certain way.
And any behavior outside of their "norm" is met with drugs and behavior modification.
And we sit back and wonder why our kids are so ####ing messed up.

We rely almost solely on political correctness to dictate and determine educational standards while other nations have a more traditional (and far better) educational system.

I can't believe we finally have one of
these discussions going in the right
direction. And there seems to be a lack
of interest.
I just don't understand people I guess.
