We have made buying and
selling a shibboleth: the customer is always right! NOT! But this is the
absurdity that has arisen from making everything a transaction rather than a
conversation or could we hope for a meaningful dialogue?
An interesting
discussion has arisen here in Ontario about young males who tune out in school.
One teacher has suggested that video games give power to the player and they
are frustrated when they enter an environment where they are not the
controller. Unfortunately they are too immature to recognize that they can't
always be in control.
The other theme is that
often parents model bullying by harassing educators. Even twenty years ago some
parents came to school consultations with lawyers.
Finally, there are
'Christian' parents who are suing because they want to have detailed lesson
plans for every lesson in advance so that they can keep their kids away from
potentially hazardous 'education'.
We've got a lot of
teapot fascists running loose,
