Geez, sorry that I missed it, now!

We were taught that socials kill! Socials on our planet are a class of

beings unfitted for a solitary life, they need companionship, they are

interdependent, practice the division of labor, grow thickly together

monopolizing the ground they grow on, spread social diseases, and are funded

by mandatory contributions. Socials are communal, common and collective bugs!

What we have here is a communication problem, it is called " social war " (a

war fought between allies).

Although I don't mind listening to squabbles. I really hate it when I

must enter the arena also.

I do not think Kdg. or the Public School System should be responsible

for teaching " social skills " . I never realized that you had to go to

kdg. to obtain them. I never went, so did I learn no social skils from

family, church & neighborhood? We're trying to push children into

earlier and earlier required schooling. Based on how society is

advancing now, do you really think " social skills " have improved due to

kdg ? I think not. Can you look over the past twenty years and say there

is less violence, more concern about your fellowman, less teen

pregnancies (especially since sex ed.), less STD's ? I could go on & on,

but need less to say, I'm sure many of you have tuned me out already.

Don't give me that stuff about there being good kids out there and we're

just giving teens a bad rap because of a few " confused'

children . I already know there are good kids out there, and a lot of

them, but we as a society

are dropping the ball by thinking it is the responsibility of schools to

teach " social skills " . WE took prayer out of schools, but we sure call

on it and have no court fights over it when someone is gunning down our

children.

Social skills, vaiues and morals need to back in families and families

need to be families again.

We need to quit relying on the school to convey social skills when we

don't even know what they believe. We need to take our families to

worship together, teach our children to love and care for others, and to

get rid of the " ME FIRST " attitude that has become so popular. Fire away

at me, I don't mind. I stand strong behind my beliefs and my

convictions.
