The family isn't dead. Its the number one way that Asian immigrants out perform even citizens in gaining wealth
We? are selfish - I'm guilty of that. That's why I didn't want kids. When I got some pre grown ones I golfed all weekend. I sucked but my son thinks I was great simply because I set a good example about hard work and consistent effort. He is a success.
Long live the family. Fuck the state
There is no ideal family nor are there family values. That is political sloganeering. Do the best you can. Don't have kids if you can't put them first.
Adopt a shelter dog instead
Except that some family structure yield better outcomes than others. Family is dead for large swaths of American society. The State has been part of the problem.
Gosh maybe we should encourage the ones that work better? Too radical?
According to my kid's kindergarten class, yes, this is too radical. We're supposed to support disruption of western values.
You are obviously an engaged parent ready to counteract the transition surgery of lil Yellow. That's like #1 on the hit parade. Requires time and effort.
Almost 25 years ago my Black friend told me about how his second grader came home and told him that the teacher told the class they couldn't be spanked anymore. So of course he gave her a spanking and said tell your teacher to come see me if she has a problem
Today the teacher probably would call the cops.
People disagree on spanking and abuse is of course WRONG and teachers should be on the lookout for signs but not interfere to that level.
I was spanked and my wife was tuff on the boy but he ended up THANKFUL for it. I'm glad she wan't my mom. I thought the wooden spoon was bad[/b]
Kids need discipline. And love.
