I'm just glad someone is willing to do it and do it right. I see too
many kids coming out of high school here in Louisiana who not only can't
read and write they have no "life" skills at all. I end up paying for
they and their children to live on welfare.

I would be in jail for murder if I had to teach junior high or high
school for a living. First little SOB that cursed me or showed
disrespect would learn what an old NCO can do with his boots. Sheesh,
and to think I've got five grandkids in that bunch.

Yeah, I have lots of respect for dedicated teachers and think they
should put the others up against the wall.

I agree enthusiastically...I've got 8 grandkids and very short
teeth from gritting them to avoid blasting some of them
occasionally.

They're really not bad kids but kids now-a-days are raised
differently than they were back when. It really bothered me to
see my 13 year old grandson taking over the right seat in the
family car and relegating his mom to the back seat. I pointed
this out to his dad by saying that it lowered her in his
subconscious mind. He denied it weakly but I see her back where
she belongs now.

Guess I'm not entirely useless yet...

-Gord.

My eldest grandson, now 23 and a dad himself, called his Mom a bitch at
my table when he was about 14. After he woke up he claimed he was going
to call Child Protective Services and tell them I hit him. Told him they
would have to wait to talk to me after I kicked the crap out of him and
the CPS people that showed up. Once he saw no backing up he changed his
attitude toward his Mom and other women and made sure his younger
siblings did the same. He and his wife are great parents, ensuring my
first great grand minds, uses manners, stays clean, eats properly, etc.
I'm very proud of a young man I was fully prepared to beat to death at
one time. They can change Gord, they just have to be motivated. BSEG
