good post trauma

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of character.

When teaching.  You must assume what you teach is correct.  Most people can only assume this.  I'm not sure, but perhaps a few people, are certain what they teach is correct.

I wonder how many teachers have taught their students the wrong ideals because of their assumptions.  

Teaching is much more difficult than most people think.  In order to do so you must know the short term and long term consequences of what you teach.  If you are going to impose your ideals, then you should be able to stand by ur ideals with evidence showing their value.  And that evidence does not come in a temporary form.  Temporary success in life does not give an individual the right to say "i believe this and it worked for me, it can work for you to."  It also is not evidence if you say "this worked for me" but in reality you ran from situations that challenged your beliefs.   To go even further.  Since each individual is different "this worked for me, my whole life through" doesn't necesarily qualify either as being something that definitively should be taught.  It worked for you, but it may not work for our kids.

Morals are a subjective concept.  There may be a definite right and wrong, but who are any of us to proclaim we know them.  Some say, God handed them down that is proof enough.  But God handed Islam, Christianity, and Judaism different morals.  Either he is confused.  Or his interpreters were confused.  In either cased, morals as explained by confused interpreters of God's word are still subjective.  

I'm sure I would be wrong to say we shouldn't teach out kids, and shouldn't give them ethics.  But I wholly agree that before any individual takes it upon himself to impose a moral system on another individual they first take the time to become fully educated of all the possbilities and all the consequences and after doing so if they still have the will to attempt to teach another human being then it is up to them.

Word, check it, i hear elementry kids talkin bout smokin pot, and drinking, everyone in my skool smokes/drinks/does drugs.  Its pathetic, all my peers r way to immature for their age, act real dumb, cuz they too cought up in having an "image", fake rules n regulations, so self absorbed its making them stupid.  Forward to the future, they'll be hooked on drugs/drinks, wont give a shit bout anything, have kids, who'll be raised wrong, and thats that.
Its sad, the older generation of adults act too immature themselves, dont raise their kids right, then the kids[this generation], do the same thing, screw up, get involved with crap, then they have kids...Man i talk about this ALL THE TIME...
The future generation really isnt lookin too bright for me...peace
