Or something...<BR/><BR/>Personally, I was all ABOUT reforming the system when I was eighteen, to the point of becoming a card-carrying Marxist, but I probably looked equally silly to people who were only a few years older.Fretful Porpentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165078003123517013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164185959238733667.post-17442287695434312272008-11-20T20:10:00.000-08:002008-11-20T20:10:00.000-08:00All my comp students want the parents to take care...All my comp students want the parents to take care of everything. Violence in the media? Parents need to explain what's appropriate to their kids. Racism? Parents need to teach their kids better. Eating habits, homophobia, alcohol abuse, you name it--we need better parents!!!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, do these 18-year-olds just love listening to their parents' advice? Or what?
