Damage to overprotective parents, and health and safety, the education of our children?
Many teachers are reluctant to take children on school trips because of fear of being sued if something goes wrong. In London, the car of the parents of the battery in the queues because they can not let Junior walk the last mile to school if he / she is abducted by aliens. What are your views?
In my town are also the secondary school students, drawn their entrances by bus. When I took the bus to 11 years, I walked two blocks to a bus stop. Mom has caused us to stop or walk to us. I am planning my days in school for a day trip by bus not even together and I do not go near a school in 9:00 or 3.00 clock, the traffic is so bad in every City mom pick his child.
I think most kids today are coddled and spoiled beyond belief. Most of them have no clue how to act in the public and have an enormous sense of duty. Their parents encourage them. If the child misbehaves in public and someone complains, it is somehow wrapped around the whole situation, complaining that the person “intolerant” of this “wonderful” kids.
Yes, there are things that children are protected from these things and vary according to how old they are needed. And there are predators and always will be. But a child remained under the skirts do not teach the child what he should, if someone does not hide them wrong approach. When I was preteen, I was a couple of guys who were much older than the obvious intention of approaching bad on me. Was alone in a park several blocks from my grandparents’ house – no one has even won. I managed to escape them, and come to a house fire nearby. When the boy saw where I went they went and I went to my grandmother by the way (even if it is a dangerous busy street that I was not adopted, to walk along) rather than take the shortcut through was generally safe fields.
I could do all this because my parents and grandparents taught me and taught me to think, and then has trusted me.
have been I shudder to think, that would like my childhood, I would not be able to a bike ride, alone, two or three miles to my iPod to the house of a friend not in a position, a walk to five – mile just for the Society was not able to take the bus home to my grandparents in the summer every day, and many other things that now would be dangerous. When I was a latchkey child of 8 years, and even cooked dinner for the family when my mom had to work late. Today it is considered child abuse.
One of my best friends taught fourth Class, and she tells stories of horror on his “children” and how angry the parents if they or any assignment of tasks, challenges, some have. And even more upset when a failing grade, because to do homework is given. There is no sense of personal responsibility or liability is subject. And teachers are not allowed to hold children back – I think it is more than twice – no matter how they do in school or something, what they learn, they have only passed the upper class and is one other problem. Frankly, I do not know how it each year, because I would not go crazy. And it is not that the teachers are bad – the system is essentially Hogtied and give them the creativity or flexibility about how to teach more.
And I also think all contribute to how children are fat. You can not play outside, to remove because they can. You can not go to school or even at a central bus stop, for they will be removed. So they are living and video games and weight gain.
