GOD doesn't anyone get it. Stop spoon feeding your kids. MAKE THEM WORK for
what they want don't just buy it for them. I am sick and tired of all these
brats getting out of school thinking that the world owes them the same living I
have worked years to earn. They need to get there butts out there and work for
it. My background from fishing boats, factory worker, painter, to network
admin, to rbase programer has aloud me to work with a lots of different people
and the kids of the last 5-8 years are the biggest bunch of thumb suckers i
have ever seen. VERY FEW WANT TO WORK HARD FOR WHAT THEY WANT.
So Joe I think your right on the money...
Vic;
I couldn't agree more with you on that statement.
On the flip side, though, is Bill Gates the role model for America's youth? While he is
probably better than most money squandering professional athletes that have captivated
most kids, I do not personally believe that teaching your child to become a ruthless and
cut-throat business person who is driven by an out of control ego and a quest for the
almighty dollar while having no regard for the human aspect of business is a good thing
either.
My opinion is to create a reasonable balance and immortalize no single person. Parents
should be their children's role models, not people who they will never know.
Therefore the burden of responsibility is with the parents, and not the "heros" that we
push children to become.
Mike
