What horsecrap.

Instead of challengeing kids to "be all that they can be" we mollycoddle them and protect their feelings...

Kinda like the dad that pushes his non swimming kid into the deep end of the pool.

The kid may swim or the kid may sink.

But the parent is there to make sure that he doesn't die.

Maybe that's the wrong ezample to use......

But I'd rather be known as a tough parent of a successful kid,
than a parent who is friends with his homicidal, degenerate,
unsocial kid.....
