OMG Nick, that is all so true. What can we do to give back the school  and the parents the authority they once had.  Life was not so complicated  back then and we didn't have as much delinquency. Where does the blame lie?

God Bless

Hi Nick,

Thank you for sharing these scenarios with me.  They are so true of the changing of the two time periods.

I myself long for the good old days to return.  I know it is not possible, but can't help remembering.  I remember when kids were more obedient and school officials and parents were in charge.

Those were much better times.

Wishing you and yours a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Blessings,

Beryl
