Are kids being raised with VALUES these days?

Question

just wondering.....

Answer 1

Just like always, some kids are being raised with good values and some aren't. I have seen a lot of kids in different schools(K-6) and it is surprising how great some of them are.  Unfortunately, we usually hear the bad.

Answer 2

Firstly, as a Heathen myself I object to your characterization of the term, Belie. I am hardly "godless" - in fact I've got many.

Secondly, no, kids are not being raised with values these days. They're being raised with control. There's a difference.

Values teach people to be self-reliant. To trust themselves to make good decisions, to make up for it when they make bad ones, and to get along with people.

Control teaches people to bow mindlessly to authority. To trust that someone higher up than oneself will always be there to make your decisions for you, beat you when you do wrong (regardless of whether or not pain has anything to do with your transgression or does anything to make it up to the person transgressed), and generally be cowering, mindless automata.

Answer 7

What the **** is values?

Answer 8

You obviously have no children. What a mean thing to say.

Answer 9

No. No kids have values anymore. They're all a bunch of godless heathens.

Answer 10

Some.  Since parents work so much to make ends meet, the kids don't know boundaries, and are neglected.

Answer 11

I would like to think so...although my daughter talks to me like I am nobody and it doesn't seem to bother her.  I would have never talked to my parents that way and still wouldn't.  I think something went wrong with the society sometime in the last 15 years.

Answer 12

Yes, we just don't hear about those children.

We only hear about the ones who obviously wouldn't know a moral if it bit them on the bum.
