so, Bostonman, if I have struggled financially, and am not financially well off, are you saying that my values are different than yours as a parent? that mine are somehow less as a general rule? That money makes for better values? Are you talking about morality? or saying that someone financially well off has children that value a buck more? I’m not sure I’m getting your point, I guess.
a quote I just read today from Chris Hedges:
“We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success”, defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.”
