    Do you realize that there are schools in this country where teachers aren't allowed to use red pens to mark up a students work, because it may have a negative impact on them. There are sport that don't keep score because they don't want kids to have to loose. If we don't allow our kids to taste failure how are they going to build a drive to reach for success. Everytime I failed at something growing up it made me want to succeed at it even more. Not all kids are this way but I think far too many are.

    the world has changed forever..thank you


    ha ha. had you been around to read my NCLB thread maybe you would know I believe differently.

    Good parental involvement in thier childs education means everything to yes "any" child. Especially when they are having a rough time with difficult subject matter.

    hmm..now that it think about it more..i would expect an older generation to feel threatened by good will and enlightenment.. you probaly never saw it coming...

    i'm willing to go out on a limb and say that every generation feels this way (at some point about the previous generation) and thinks that they are the enlightened ones.

    5 YR OLD SOCCER MATCHES WITH NO SCORE!!!!
    SCHOOLS BANNING THE PADDLE!!!
    NO MORE DUNCE CAP!!

    you know along with failure and shame...humiliation is an underated quality in a childs life....makes them stronger...i have to agree wtih you there..

    maybe its time you start being a little narcissistic and worry about your own family for a change...they probaly miss your mind.

    One think I have to say is that your words here today have proven this study right. A self centered egotictical child who can't take an ounce of criticism thrown in his direction. A child who resorts to insults when he doesn't get his way.

    all of these things are part of life, no one likes to lose, encouragement after loss leads to greater acheivements later on. It's better to try and fail and try again than to never try at all and live in some sort of vanilla pablum society. That's all anyone is saying. I don't think anyone here is really dumping on the youth of society. Most people are doing thier best to do a good job in thier own lives and for thier children. I am contending that coddling children and trying to shield them from the world is detrimental to thier health and overall well being as well as thier education.

    My original point was that this study may have been on the 18-22 range of people but it's really just a microcosm of our entire society.

    I would say that the majority of our children are growing up in ahealth environment, but the minority that isn't is far to large. I'm going by my experiences with my kids in school and I see way to many kids growing up in an environment where they are never given the opportunity to fail at anything. Obviously as a parent I don't like to see my kids fail, but I know that it is a part of life that they have to experience. When they fail I offer support and encouragement and when they succeed praise.

    i know what you mean, everyone comes out ready to change the world and says THIS time we'll make a difference...We get stuck in a routine and don't want to put the effort into really making a huge difference b/c life (family, job, responsibility) gets in the way.
