SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

Poor parenting in general. I know a lot of parents that raise their kids with a sense of entitlement. If the slightest thing goes wrong for them, they run to the rescue fighting with everyone until they feel their baby has the best. There are also a lot of parents that feel their child can do no wrong, and deserves every material thing their little heart desires.
When I was in high school, I was the only one of my friends that had "chores". That is pathetic. These people had NOTHING they were responsible for around the house, and it's not like they had a job. I think people baby their kids too much and that's what comes from it. Not from a few stickers and trinkets here and there in school. IMO it is close to blaming obesity on the school lunch. Nevermind what the parents do at home, it must be caused by that one meal at school.
But, do you think pizza coupons are given out everytime a book is read? Don't you think that these children can read just for the love of reading? Like I said before a piece of pizza is not impossible to get.
disclaimer: just using pizza coupons as an example. My childrens' school does not do this.
"You'd be very hard-pressed to find many Einsteins these days."
You'd be very hard-pressed to find many Einsteins in any age for that matter.
That's a pretty big assumption there.

<<Boy, I would have a hard time convincing DS to go to school every day. He absolutely hates school - it is rather boring and mundane to him - but when his teacher introduces contests to him, he get a little excited. >>
You know, I guess I might think about this differently if my sons felt that way.

I'm not sure I get the connection between saying that pizza coupons and plastic stuff in return for doing their homework = saying that all awards are bad.
