Hon' it's not really their fault!

Mommy and Daddy both work now in most families, leaving the kids to fend
for themselves! Home Ec' and cooking need to be taught in school since
the parents don't have time anymore.

There are a few families that still take the time to teach their kids,
but many are too tired, and opt for convenience foods.

Same goes for personal care. The **** I see come into the ER that could
have been solved at home with a little "education" in first aid is
UN-frickin-believable! I almost never get infected wounds. I did not
even go to the ER for a couple of rather serious knife cuts. But, mom
and dad taught me how to take care of myself. Lots of people are not so
lucky.

It's too sad........

I think the fact that they actually POSTED here, looking for help, is a
good sign! They are trying to learn!

At least consider helping them to help themselves.

They want to learn, they just don't know how!

I've been meaning to try that for quite some time. Thanks for the
reminder.

And while I agree with your sentiments about Doug, I'm not sure I'd
have worded them *quite* that way.

What? You don't want plastic surgery websites with before and after
photos of mole removals? No cute little underground critters? You
take the fun out of everything! *****. ;o)

Asking questions is a prelude to learning.

It's exactly how my biology teacher was with us in the late 1960s. She was
the first subject of discussion at various high school reunions, and
although she was a woman to be feared, she is remembered with enormous
respect because she would've never let us get away with intellectual
laziness. The lasagna question reeks of such laziness.

What's the newbie thing? Nothing else to rant about, so you're inventing
things now?

Sometimes I do. You know that. But, I live with a 16 year old kid who, when
faced with some problems, usually says "No...wait....don't tell me. Let me
see if I can figure it out". I have an enormous amount of respect for that
quality.

Earlier, someone mentioned a question they'd seen here, in which someone
asked whether fenugreek & fennel were interchangable. I say that person was
a lazy slob for not opening a dictionary first. What you do you think about
that example?

Well, this ain't the '60s, and this ain't no biology class. Get with
the program! ;o)

As are you, if you scroll back a few posts. You're both poets in your
own special ways.

It *should* be the 60s. Have you seen what teachers let kids get away with
nowadays? It's like the schools are running little social clubs, not
educational institutions.

Does your kidlette run to the web if she wants skim milk in her cereal, but
there's only 1% milk in the house?
