I was driving home from school tonight when I heard the most ridiculous commercial to date on the radio. It was for a video (aimed at parents) that would teach children manners. The lady said they would learn manners that would never be forgotten. I'm thinking, "yea right". When exactly did parents stop teaching their children? And we wonder why kids nowadays are so troubled? It seems we humans think that the backseat entertainment in the car and the tube along with the VCR or DVD player are all that's needed. Of course, I'm not saying that every parent is like that, but they are few and far between. What gets me is that when something goes wrong, we look in every other direction except for where we really need to look, the way the kids are raised and what they are taught, in other words, the parents themselves.
e.n.
In case some of you wonder why I don't include myself, well, I don't have any kids. Yet.
