[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690776, member: 19951"] Partly agree. Schools have become complicit and trying to make everyone feel fair and to make sure no one gets their feelings hurt. Coddled I guess is the word. That is not the real world as adults. But this is where parents need to "teach" them. Life is not fair, yes, you are going to get your feelings hurt, yes, there are roadblocks, but you have to keep pushing through. Don't give up. I think of Ben Carson and his life in the ghetto, his mother suffered from depression, their father left them at early age. They were poor. But Momma made them sit down and write book reports. She corrected them when they had excuses and roadblocks. Ben became a famous Brain surgeon and his brother is an engineer. These boys succeeded in life- and history of being raised in ghetto life is usually you fail, there is no way out to anything better. Why did they succeed? [/QUOTE]
