[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3947974, member: 35603"] That is what we see. The parents are vehemently defending the avoidance of accountability for themselves and their children and we have mechanisms in place (nonsense lawsuits that should be thrown out with prejudice and full legal bills passed on to the plaintiff) that reinforce this victim mentality. We go through a lot of effort to maintain a consistent message to our kids that victimhood isn't a good thing and is not a mentality that should be rewarded or praised. It takes a LOT to override the message of entitled fairness and tolerance to a fault when they see it all day, every day out in the world (not just in schools). My favorite part is when other parents judge us for being "too harsh" on our kids and encouraging them to embrace adversity, learn from it, and move on. I think we have a huge issue with people forgetting they are raising adults not children. That turns into exactly what is complained about so much amongst conservative audiences, a bunch of children walking around in grown up bodies. [/QUOTE]
