I love to read what the younguns on this board (Kasey, Ian, etc.) have to say about this. You guys have been raised by good parents that actually CARED about their kids! I wish there were more parents in the world like mine and yours! That way, the kids of today (like those high school brats that I teach everyday!) would actually learn that they are responsible for their own actions, and deserve every punishment for the bad things they do and every compliment for the good things they do!
I've been a high-school teacher for 8 years now. There are a few students that actually still keep in touch with me, even after all those years. Why? Cause I gave a damn about them when they were my students.
I wish I could do more for some of them, but like Tim says, some over-bearing parent would probably have me fired for caring too much.
