Replyha ha reminds me of the TV commercials last Christmas for T-Mobile - one of the lines was "walking in a 4G wonderland". Took me a couple of times listening to it to realize it wasn't "walking in an o*gy wonderland". I still think mishearing that lyric wasn't completely unintended by the writer, aka Clairol Herbal Essences' "totally ORGANIC experience"... :)

ReplyI might be dating myself a tad by revealing this; but when I went to Newberry Elementary in Cuyahoga Falls, the next year's classroom assignment was indicated on the final report card for the year. Now, class lists are posted a week before elementary school starts - and a list of "the basics" for the coming school year in terms of school supply lists is included with that final report card.

well put. I think two of the worst problems with people in the world today entail 1) people being so he**-bent on exercising their rights that they forget responsibilities come with rights - and 2) kids aren't allowed to fail nowadays - they aren't allowed to experience the "hard knocks" that come with things not going the way they want. No wonder we have an epidemic of entitlement in society - and kids who go into adult life so unprepared for disappointment. As someone who works in a customer service field, I see on a daily basis people with entitlement mentality - and people who are unwilling or unable to accept responsibility for their actions (or lack thereof). We have to stop sheltering and pampering our kids - it's just like the age old computer programming rule: "garbage in - garbage out"...
