Reply #172: So, "snowball fights" in the backyard and "bullying games" there are

a-okay, but not at school, because of lawsuits? Parents can be sued just as fast as schools.

I really will make a lousy principal when I finish my master's degree. I'm going through my schoo law books and not seeing anything like that.

What the problem has become is that we are so afraid to let out kids be kids!

To quote George Carlin: "Whatever happened to the kid who eats too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own. . .no wonder kids smoke, it helps. Not as much as weed, but you can't have everything. The problem isn't the kids. It's these anal retentive yuppie boomer parents who enroll you in college before you know which side of the plan pen smells the worst. Then they fill you up with ritalin and drag you to meaningless structure. Little League, Cub Scouts, Piano lessons, bagpipes, watercolor, witchcraft, bagpipes and dildo practice.

Seriously, if you want to help your kids, LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!!!"

We have the two extremes today. Parents being uninvolved and parents being over-involved! Where are parents like mine? The happy medium!!!
