Modern society not doing children any favors

The editor:

We should all be concerned about what we are teaching our children from Kindergarten through high school. They enter school at the age of five, and by the time they finish the fifth grade they have already seen ten thousand murders on television and elsewhere. After they finish the fifth grade most have their own room and a television of their own, so they can watch those steamy sex stories called soaps and much more juicy things on television aimed at puberty. When they graduate to high school, some kids have money, fancy clothes and cars, and some don’t. This is where they meet that big monster called peer pressure. Some quit school, some commit suicide, some get pregnant, and some go to college. Having a rich daddy or a poor daddy makes a big difference whether you go to college or not. Same authorities say that one half don’t finish college, and this is where the rubber meets the road, because in that one half that don’t go to college there might be the greatest mind that the world has ever produced working the rest of his life in a filling station, while the stupid one with a super rich daddy might become President of the United States.
