I see that now. I seriously was talking about the kids being turned loose on the public nowadays. Alot of them don't seem to care to know what it takes to find a job, hold a job and climb the ladder of success. Kids don't wake up knowing how to be responsible for what they have and where they are in life just because they reach adult age. It's something they should of been taught and I don't think that responsiblity falls on the school systems... be it public or private.
OK. I agree that kids are not generally expected to perform by their parents. We expected the boys to help, do chores, do their homework, be responsible for their actions, tell the truth, and generally live by a high moral standard whether their friends did or not.
Kids graduate from high school and expect to own a house like mom and dad have, have a new car, and feel entitled to everything in life. Most of them don't realize that mom and dad had to start in a one bedroom apartment and work their way up to the four bedroom house that they are still paying for. They don't expect to really have to work and just stand around until someone jumps them and tells them what to do and then the reply is F-you behind the supervisor's back if not to his face. And for that, I blame a series of things starting with Social Services not allowing kids to be slapped or spanked, parents that want to be the kids friends instead of parents, school administrators that are more concerned with socializing the kids rather than making sure the education system is teaching correctly, and teachers that are not educators.
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.
