You are pretty much dead on in what you say but I have been fortunate enough to have one of those rare exceptions buy a house next door to me. A young Army vet who is 22 or 23 and works in an auto electric shop without AC and goes to tech school at night. He is unmarried but has a girl friend who is helping him tend a garden, she doesn’t live with him. He is as good a neighbor as I could have ever hoped for.
You are exactly right, Watson! My grand-daughter is married to a fine 21 year old Marine that has 9 brothers and sisters who was homeschooled, in California of all places.
He guards our nuclear arsenal, a position that requires SWAT type training. The kid is awesome.
He and his military buddies all seem to be cut from the same cloth. It is the public school population and average kid on the street I’m referring too. They won’t do the work...period. To them, all they are concerned with are their “benefits”, man, I hate that word.
