Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometers away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe just for watching a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then attend a college far across the country. When he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, is a very common practice in the United States. Job-hopping is good to workers, because every change of a job gives them a chance to move up to a higher position and to get better pay. And job-hopping also gives bosses the chance to get new ideas and skills that different people bring to their companies and factories.

“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education when we decided it was all right not to push our children to do their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left them to the teachers and went on holidays.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-so passive-and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “"We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying “go look it up”, you tell them the answer. It takes great energy to say no to  kids.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their holidays and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.
