No, I meant the reason some students aren't learning.
I meant I don't think the blame can be laid at the feet of any one area. Neither schools, home schools or any system.
The laziness I refer to is the general attitude in *some* of all the areas; home, school environments (not just public) and some of the places we send our kids for activities that kids pretty much raise themselves. Granted, all kids oughtta come in contact through their lives with many people inside the home or school and outside those environments who teach them. But, to me, there is a more blase attitude toward interacting with knowledge to kids now than when there was when I grew up.
It may be an unfair assessment on my part, but I see a laziness on the part of people in general just to talk to kids and share knowledge and life experience. Frankly, I am always amazed that kids like me. I think I come across as something of a curmudgeon to them. But, PQ and others have told me that they liked me as kids cause I just talked to 'em and shared stuff I knew with 'em.
Well, I think laziness and selfishness are wider problems that are reflected everywhere. Comes from being too big a country, and the independence of not having any impact. We watch life on TV, we don't ~do~ it.
