Re: Cry babies

We had to worry about the boogie monster, polio, if we were going to have food for the rest of the week, if we were going to be invaded by a foreign power, nuclear war, if it were going to be a good crop season, etc.

1st graders can't even read, what do they need the large history books for? If kids these days are so smart, why is everyone complaining about the education system? Why do people write off the public school system and bypass them for private schools? We need to get back to the basics first. People got by 1,000's of years without computers. What makes the kids today so special?

Yes, lets give them laptops so they can go on MySpace all day long instead of just all night long at home

As ridiculous as EVERYONE'S rants may be in this thread, I agree with you on this, ninjatutle:

Persnally, I think MySpace has gotten ridiculously out of hand with today's kids (I recently blocked the site on the home computer for my kid). Let's not give our kids yet another way to AVOID education, whether it be MySpace, or anything else.

Damn, in my day, the worst thing we had to worry about was peer pressure to start smoking cigarettes.
