Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US?
Vulcan195 writes "Would you let your three-year-old play with a real saw? You would if you were a parent in Switzerland. Suzanne Lucas (a U.S. mom residing in Switzerland) writes about the contrasts between the U.S. and Swiss ways of instilling wisdom. She writes: 'Every Friday, whether rain, shine, snow, or heat, my three-year-old goes into the forest for four hours with 10 other school children. In addition to playing with saws and files, they roast their own hot dogs over an open fire. If a child drops a hot dog, the teacher picks it up, brushes the dirt off, and hands it back.' She suggests that such kids grow up and lead the ones who were coddled (e.g. U.S. kids) during their early years."
Wouldn't allow? Isn't all the trite litigiousness and politically inspired "sensitivity" the source of the problem.
Americans are sick in the heads for one reason and one reason alone. They hate their neighbors and wish to enslave them. Let's all preach the word into the microphone.. ONE ...MORE ...TIME!
Tell you what, how about Switzerland allowing minarets when Saudi Arabia allows anything other than militant Islam?
