[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids were better off when they had the freedom to run around, manage their own social situations, learn from mistakes and had to work for a living delivering papers and mowing lawns/raking leaves and had an after school job.  Boys that still do these things these days are the ones that seem to be able to master life in one way or another.  Boys need purpose besides video games and schoolwork they really don't care about so they are tutored and coddled and medicated and then parents wonder wtf happened.[/quote]

This x1000000

Kids don’t care about a lot of the things modern parents make them do to appeal to colleges. They’d be happier and better prepared for the world by developing independence and critical thinking.

This thread reminds me of Fight Club. [/quote]

What if they are tutored and coddled because they are so miserable and unhappy at a young age that a protective instinct kicks in that maybe isn't healthy? Why do you want depressed, suicidal 4th and 5th graders?  Will that really create better men?[/quote]
