The battle between Millenials and Gen X
I was born in 1974. I was taught respect and responsibility. Now mine was not the typical childhood. It was a bit rough. However, I feel like I would be lost and ignorant if I did not have a dose of reality at an early age.
I am a survivor, a jack of all trades, a realist.
People argue about what’s best for kids now.
In my opinion, it’s pretty obvious that the no Child left behind, the soft “positive” parenting that only allows praise and not consequence has only created 30 year old children still living at home not knowing how to change a tire or do their own laundry.
Most of which are on mental health medications and offended by everything. JS
I could cook when I was nine. I found out about Santa Claus when I was five.
When I was 12 we had s*x ed, we had shop class, home ec, and in high school we had electricity and auto repair. (The reproductive age starts at 9-12 yrs old)
There were first aide babysitting classes, so you could take care of a newborn at age 12. Which I did.
( I don’t even think I trust an 18 year old with a child in today’s society. 😬 )
I am extremely confused and disheartened by the education system in America today.
Third grade = no homework no spelling test, can barely read. Yet somehow passes all exams and state assessments. 🤔😒😕 
Some call it a conspiracy theory, but I seriously think the decades-old phrase “dumbing down of America” is legit.
At what age do you think a child should know there is no Santa Claus, tooth fairy or Easter bunny????
In my opinion, if they’re at “reading level” they should know.
