Nah, didn't say art's our priority. Said our ideas about relationships
|
|
and love are.

I see it a lot in the south. Also family.

One thing that's wrong is who some of us choose as babysitters. Too many
|
|
kids are put in front of the television for hours each day, to be
|
|
influenced by what the media and government thinks is important. I
|
|
learned a long time ago that what they think is important and what is are
|
|
two different things. I threw the TV out when Xi was 9. She's got her
|
|
own place now, and still doesn't have one. YaY! Another thing that's
|
|
wrong is what goes on in public schools. Some allow a bit of
|
|
individuality, but only for a class or a short period of time, depending
|
|
on the teachers, most of the time. I dunno how many times I've seen Xi
|
|
come home from school absolutely miserable or outraged about something
|
|
that happened at school. She made it to college, though, whew. It's a
|
|
big problem to tackle, and I don't know the answer. I like the idea of
|
|
the voucher system, because in a way it is a way parents can vote more
|
|
efficiently for how their kids are taught.
