Feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
I like it
Unfortunately; the schools where my 9 children go still haven’t taught mine children these lessons. It’s a shame when a poor working-class parent like I can’t count on the public school system to teach mine children these basic necessities of life. I think all of the teachers in these schools should be fired. They are racist. They hate the white children.
I beat and beat and beat mine kids; but I can’t compensate for the failure that is be the school teachers.
Zelda, you better hope that no spanking law doesn’t hit your state…let’s see 9 kids, 9 spanks, 1 year in jail per spank..hmmm hey, it could cure you of you crack habit..but then again, you could pick up some other bad habits:wink:

2- “Unfortunately; the schools where my 9 children go still haven’t taught mine children these lessons.”
Zelda, my honest respect for bringing up such a number of children in such a crazy world like this! (I mean it this way)
I don’t know how it is in the US, but a huge problem in Germany is, that the parents expect the school system and the teachers to teach such values without having any education duties themselves… There are so many spoiled kids going to school, with which you think how anybody would be able to teach anything to these “little assholes”? I mean a basic understanding of how to behave in a civilized world should be expectable… or not?
Kids are acting like little pricks? It must be the fault of the schoolteachers!
What’s a “car phone”
I mean, I know conservatives dream about being able to take us backwards, but when was the last time you heard anyone say ‘car phone’? 
Matthias Roggenbuck;
Thank you for your sincere comments.
Let me tell you a little secret; and please don’t tell anyone else on this site. I do have some kids, but not 9. Also, my crack addiction is grossly over reported.
A “car phone” is a scale model of some expensive car, say a Ferrari or Lambo or Corvette. But it is actually a phone. Looks great on the executive desk.
8- Sorry Zelda,
I have seen so many anti-abortion activists and creationists on this website, that I hadn’t been surprised about somebody having 9 kids…
Actually with the fact in mind that I have to save 500€/month for a private pension plan (additionally to the regular retirement pay), I appreciate anybody who raises children (properly)…
