Then we might as well say we have failed as a nation and ask a dictator to tell us what to do so we don't have to be responsible for our own actions.I don't disagree but times have changed.
Divorced parent? Your now the new normal.
1 parent working and 1 at home? Your the vast minority by a long shot.
Kids have more information thrown at them then they can process and retain with the internet. They are being wired to be able to find the answer and not just remember it.
My kids heading towards a neurology degree, runs volunteer meetings for teens, volunteers at clinics etc.
She also was only 1 of 21 out of 240 kids in her high school to complete an advanced program from start to finish with a graduating class of 600+.
That tells me, along with what I read and my own personal experience that 'kids' are kids a lot longer then the short couple of decades ago that I grew up in.
Some of these things need to change with the times and others don't. But a blank statement advocating that all kids are just as responsible as their peers is not something I agree with.
I have already stated I disagree with active military restrictions etc.
We are talking about the 'average' 18 year old and I just don't see a lot of shining example these days beyond the exceptional few.
