Let's be honest, the expectations of teens are not what they use
to be. Back in the time of King Tutankhamen, he was a kid and was expected
to rule all of Egypt! Okay maybe an example of centuries ago is not as
effective, why don't we try our grandparents. When my Grandparents were teenagers, they
could make a living for their family, they would work hard on a farm, or in
school, or even with the house. They owned animals and were responsible for
them. These kids couldn't wait to start a job to provide for their family! (I'm
not saying there weren't a few in the bunch who were lazy)
Time went by and new laws came across,
such as the Child Labour laws.
Although the Child labor law was meant to protect children from being paid
unfair wages, these children may not have known how to read and wright, but they certainly knew what a
bit of money was even though they didn't know how much it was. The thing is,
that during the 1800 there were hundreds of kids lining up in front of
factories to work. These kids worked in all sorts of dangerous places forcing the government to do something about
it.
Next came the machines, yes, when children
worked there were machines, but after the children couldn't work, the factories
needed some way to make their products. Because of this a machine was invented
that could do ALL the work. Turning a job for 100 people into a job for 1
person.
Finally came the schools, the
government is currently regulating laws that force your parents to send you to
a school or at least educate you! If they don't
you get taken away by the CPS!
Now I'm not saying School is bad for you, but seriously
they have been dumbed down to the
lowest commen denominator!
Meaning that almost anyone can pass the tests! WE HAVE BEEN DUMBED DOWN!
WE WILL NOT LET PEOPLE DUMB US DOWN! WE
WILL RISE ABOVE THE NORM AND PROVE THEM WRONG!
What do you think? What are your ideas? Why not start this revolution?
