I think maybe in school they should deal with the interview process much more. even if it is just proper interviews in addition to already implemented things to get in to clubs like "yes you may be a great basketball player but if you show up here to talk to me in ripped clothes, and say things like dude and man I am sorry your not going to be on the team"
Some people may be like "well they you are not letting the best players play"
To me though if they are not as well an appropriate member of society they they have no place there.
There should be a larger sence of responsibility and pride in schools today to.
A lot of schools don't even do things like field day taking away that edge of competitiveness that is needed to be taught so that it remains as kids move in to society.
I was forced to do community service to graduate it's just what MD does and I think that all schools should do that as well.
Working in nursing homes and doing walk a thons gave me a sence of community and let me know that there are other people out there helping me to loose that narcissistic personality a lot of kids develop around there teens.

I am sorry if this has turned in to a rant but I really hate youth today and i feel that I am to young to have to feel that way as I am only a few steps from that youth.
what the pc world has done pisses me off and makes me fear for the future of my children.
Yes i still spank, yes I still let them compete and when they say thing like we both win and it is not a tie i tell them no this one or the other won and you lost. i feel there is nothing wrong with that.
As well i tell them when they are doing good and reward them as individuals.

I think as well i will come late mid school/high school work with them like my dad did on how to make a resume, how to interview, proper work ethic and even things like how to do your own taxes. School never taught me that either.
