I once heard a story about a man who went to the movies with his son. He
believed in bringing up his children in the right and proper manner, teaching
them right from wrong, teaching them how to behave. When he approached the
cashier he noticed a sign that kids under the age of 12 had a reduced price.
Turning to his son (who was 13 y/o) he whispered in his ear that if asked he
shold say he is 12. My question to us educators, role models, ... _ What was
the lesson that this child learnt after so many years of so-called upbringing
that this child had received????
Adele, you are a true role model and I fully agree with you.
Take care and all the best,
Avi
