Every generation thinks todays teenagers are the worst ever.

This article could have been written 30 years ago when I was a teenager. Only back then, there was no internet or home computers. So I closed my bedroom door with a stack of MAD and National Lampoon magazines and listened to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath while my parents fretted over the wasting of my potential.

I grew up eventually. As will today's teenagers.

Every generation our civilization is invaded by tribes of barbarians. These barbarians must be civilized and taught our civilization's values and beliefs and how to fit into our civilization or it will be destroyed. These barbarians are called children.

I might note Harry Potter teaches these barbarians something about our civilization, about bravery, self-sacrifice, loyalty to others. Glee teaches nothing useful about civilization's values.

Many of them take their freedom for granted and have no interest in even learning about what it takes to be a good citizen.
Military school style training will cure that.Most schools are operated like a baby setting session.
They care less about grades they only want the states money.

(Killing Lincoln)
>>I can’t believe it costs $20.

Cost me $15 for the audiobook version from audible (monthly
“credit”). But kid (I assume he’s talking to his teen
daughter), you even get to hear your dad read it, what say you?

No, but it has been said that Americans are teenagers.

No child raised in the Government Schools is an American, because our Government is not American and has not been for quite a while.

Therefore, you have to either force the urchins to pay attention to important things like their country or bribe them to do it.

I prefer the old tried-and-true method. Beatings.

Nothing like a good beating to focus the mind ... like a junior version of the hangman's noose.

When the barbarian begins actually to wonder why all that crap is so important to you, then you have finally won. You at last have its mind on the subject.
