Seriously, what the heck happened to rationality & common sense in this country?
My gosh, if the educational system thought like this when I was a kid, every little boy I ever knew would have never made it out of school...because we all would have been suspended EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!
Actually, in our time, it wouldn't have been suspensions...it would have been spankings by either the teachers or the principal with a wooden paddle. THEN...when we got home, it would have most likely led to another spanking from Mom or Dad.
Of course, in today's world that is looked upon as "child abuse".
Instead, when I was a kid, we were allowed to play & be CHILDREN with imaginations!!!!
We were encouraged to GET OUTSIDE & play. Or as my folks used to say, "Get ouside & blow the stink off.".
I wonder......if I were a kid today...would I get in trouble with Big Brother, for playing "cowboys & Indians"/"cops & robbers" by myself in my own yard, out on the farm?
(There were no nearby friends, since I lived 6 miles from any kids my own age. So, while home, I had to entertain myself.)
