[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't follow all rules, if they don't work for us. People here are horrified by that, but I don't think it's a big deal. I teach my kids to think critically. For example: there is no eating or drinking on mass transit. But years ago my DD was assigned in the lottery to an elementary school that required us to leave home at 7am to get to her school on time. Not a morning girl, I got her up as late as possible which meant she ate breakfast on the train. Never foods that created crumbs, and she never left trash on the train. So no big deal. People here were HORRIFIED that I wasn't teaching her to follow all rules. [/quote]

This explains why so many people are so disrespectful and entitled. Unlike PP, I don’t think this leads to violent crime, but I do think it is creating lots of rude people who think they can do whatever they want and feel that they shouldn’t be expected to follow rules they don’t agree with. There has been a tremendous loss of basic common courtesies over the last few years. [/quote]

I agree.

In the above situation, your kid should have gotten up like five minutes earlier to eat breakfast. I'm not horrified, but I think you're a jerk and you're teaching your kid to act like one, too.[/quote]
