*Success*

Many people like to point out how much worse children are than they used to be... how children used to be good and now they don't listen and are disrespectful and what have you... Well you are wrong. People have been saying this every single generation... All the way back to when Socrates was alive:

"Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers."
-Socrates

No you are not spitting some logic or telling some amazing truth. You are perpetuating an ageist fallacy that some of the most intelligent people may fall for.

The above list will be updated whenever possible and whenever I am not lazy.

"A child whose life is full of the threat and fear of punishment is locked into babyhood. There is no way for him to grow up, to learn to take responsibility for his life and acts. Most important of all, we should not assume that having to yield to the threat of our superior force is good for the child's character. It is never good for anyone's character." - John Holt

"Play is the highest form of research." - Albert Einstein

"Respect begets respect, empathy begets empathy, love begets love." - A Random Internet User

"Modern education is competitive, nationalistic and separative. It has trained the child to regard material values as of major importance, to believe that his nation is also of major importance and superior to other nations and peoples. The general level of world information is high but usually biased, influenced by national prejudices, serving to make us citizens of our nation but not of the world." - Albert Einstein

"Little children love the world. That is why they are so good at learning about it. For it is love, not tricks and techniques of thought, that lies at the heart of all true learning. Can we bring ourselves to let children learn and grow through that love?" - John Holt

"One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"My God is Reason, in the name of His Son; Truth, and in the name of Sanity, go in peace Brothers AND Sisters." - A Random Ultima Online Player

"I find it really sad that I must defend children to their OWN parents in a probably fruitless endeavor to get the parent to see the perspective of the child." - A Random Unschooling Parent

"A racist will state many reasons as to why a certain race is undeserving of equal treatment and respect. A misogynist can list a myriad of reasons as to why women are inferior to men as a gender. As with other forms of irrational group prejudice, the ageist will provide you with many excuses for treating children with less regard and respect than they themselves deserve to be treated." - James C. Talbot




I will probably change my background a lot (can't help it) so you'll have to get used to it, lol
