[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Past elementary school, absolutely.

[b]I'm a MS teacher and I wish more parents would MAKE their kids conform and be like the masses.  There's plenty of time to be an individual after age 18.  Until then, those are the most important formative years and it hurts me so much to see or hear about a kid being teased for being different.  Of course, teaching tolerance is also very important.  If I have to contact a parent about their child being a bully more than once, I seriously look down on that person as a parent.  Once, eh, kids can have bad days and be little sh!ts.  But twice or three times?  Nope, that's on you, mom & dad - you're raising terrible offspring.

Examples I'm talking about when I say conforming: 6th grade boys NOT walking the halls with cartoon/superhero character lunchboxes or backpacks.  Sixth grade girls not wearing unicorns or other clothes that look like they came from Justice.  Not dressing your son like a mini accountant or your daughter like the female offspring of a political family.      [/quote][/b]

WTAF does any of this have to do with scouting??  I'm not even sure I understand what you're trying to say here.[/quote]
