[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 350134, member: 3907"] DF, this is too true. Over the last several years, I've been getting a first-hand look at the results of the self-esteem crusade. I'm often in the position of hiring and/or managing staff, and I continue to be astonished at how helpless too many of the young twentysomething workers are. Expecting to be spoon fed everything, looking for rewards for meeting basic expectations, unable to manage even the simplest challenge without a meltdown. Honestly! These are smart, capable people who've had all the gumption squashed out of them by the school system etc. never making them accountable. And these are PCs! How are our difficult children supposed to learn life lessons in this environment? Life does come along to bite them in the behind eventually. If they've never had the opportunity to learn accountability early on, it's a much harder lesson later, often with devastating life-long consequences. Trinity [/QUOTE]
