How to raise children?

[hiddenalias]

If you look at "most" of the users here (myself included) most of us didn't exactly come from homes that exactly encouraged us to become self-actualized. If that weren't the case most of us probably wouldn't be here. I also think "education" has added a lot to this problem as well. I remember one of my college teachers talking about how education helps you to reach your full potential. I remember snorting at this because I realized I got more of my potential from running 1 year of Shannon's subs than 13+ years of education I got from public schooling or military training. The only thing Public education really taught me was how to sit in a class, not question the teacher, write down what the teacher says, memorize it, then regurgitate it back on a test paper later on.

I will definitely agree that I am a statistic on that statement that if we were self actualized, we wouldnt be here. I also agree on the statement that I, too, have had 14 years of nonsense education that I learnt diddly squat about....thats why college and education are pure nonsense; with the exception that yes you need to learn to read and write and basic math but anything else beyond that is hardly ever used based on your career profession. What schools should be teaching at least by high school is real life experience.

people are remaining "children" for a lot longer than they should be.

I for one am that "child".....this year to next I can finally evolve as a man that I am hoping to be, like you, realizing my potential through Shannon's subs...
