better make sure not to teach any Shakespeare or Homer. Plenty of naughty words and scenarios in those works. (sarcasm off) One thing that sticks out about "parents" like these is that parenting is an occupation they rarely ever engage in. Hence on the rare occasion that they do act like Moms and Dads they go overboard about inanities. Dollars to donuts that while these folks are bitching, their children are off smoking pot or having sex.

The Bluest Eye is a good story. And it isn't more explicit than things teenagers absorb through MTV.

The surest and fastest way to piss someone off is to criticize their parenting.

Why? Because it is one of the few things that directly reflects the quality of the person.

If you want to hack someone off, say they are a lousy parent. It will make the hair on the back of their neck stand up!
