My oldest teaches kindergarten and my baby teaches high school.They both tell me some of the most godawful, gut wrenching stories of these kids and their upbringings, and it just drives you to a plethora of emotions. I can't help but look back at my life as a kid and realize how blessed I really was.I thought I had just about heard it all, but today, my oldest grandson (he's 12/7th grade) told me something that he experienced today, and it absolutely floored me...Therapy circle. <img src="/images/smilies/faint.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":faint:" title="Faint    :faint:" data-shortname=":faint:" />He and other students in his class sat in a circle, facing each other and were asked questions like...Have you ever smoked or vaped?Are you currently a smoker/vaper?Do you ever drink alcohol?Have you ever been intoxicated?And several others. My question is...why does the teacher/school need to know this? Granted, this is not the type of behavior that preteens should be engaging in, but shouldn't this be the parents jobs to regulate their own kids? Of course, most parents don't give two sh!ts about their kids nowadays, so maybe the teachers are the only shred of hope this generation has.Maybe I'm over thinking this whole thing, I dunno.  We didn't have this kind of bullsh!t when I was in school. But times were WAY different then.</blockquote>
