    what would you add to the list?

    When did kids stop being kids?

    Kindergarden used to be half-day, not only is it a full day now, we send 3& 4 years olds to pre-school

    Playing sandlot baseball can be fun, but why are we having 6-10 year olds playing on organized teams every sports season

    Kids are being taught computer operations b4 they can count or know the days of the week

    Kids used to play cowboys and Indians & cops and robbers - now if they do, they being told they need counseling for being destructive

    Kids used to watch only 1 TV program a day, then go out and play until supper time. Now they have a TV in their own room.

    Kids used to get off the school bus, walk in the house and be greeted by mom. Now, as he gets off the bus, takes the house key...

    More school hours means more government money for the schools.

    The rest is a result of snowflakes running things.
