Brian and Lucille,
Agreed! I was a teacher for many years and can attest to the fact that
most of the students today come from less than ideal home situations. Earlier
in my career when writing to parents it was customary to address letters
to ' Mr. and Mrs. ...' but that soon changed. I remember being surprised by
the casual use of expletives during a conversation with a fourth grader
until that night I went home and turned on a popular show and heard the very
same words spoken. What we need on television and at the movies are good,
solid role models and examples good parenting Kids deserve it; kids want
it even if they don't realize it.. There are precious few shows currently
that display either. It seems most try to outdo each other in their use of
adolescent antics and verbiage. Thank goodness we have a bastion of decency
in TAGS, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace, The
Waltons, Walker, Texas Ranger to mention a few. Decency, as we TAGS fans know,
never goes out of style.
Linda
