I just came in from the barn, making sure it doesnt FLOOD due to the horrid christmas rain we are getting. Oh well, the day is perfect regardless ! wow, I would be appauled as a Mom.

As an elementary school teacher, (with 20 years experience), I constantly pay witness to stolen childhood in my students. There is so much 'adult world' bombarding them, forcing them to grow up way too quickly. Add to this the images that they 'accidentally' see on the internet without their parents awareness, and its a recipe for disaster. As an educator I am committed to promoting childhood, but I can't do it alone. I need parents, (the most important adults in a child's life), to help me out by making their child's 'childhood' the number one priority in their lives. This investment will have a profound effect on our children when they are old enough to handle adult life as well balanced and stable beings. Parents can begin by abiding by movie ratings, (PG means parental guidance so attend this movie WITH your child), and teaching them how to dress appropriately for school, (A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that is difficult to concentrate in when your classmate's cleavage is exposed!!!!) Enough said! Not only do I wear my 'prudiness' proudly, but, (believe it or not), I am also a well balanced adult, thanks to my long and wonderful childhood! Anne Hello Robert,
