- I would rather that people who -are- currently parents be certain to make
- an effort to teach thier own kids what relationships are really about. The
- parents would be in the best position to teach this as well, by showing
- direct examples. This sort of change is something that takes time.
-
- There can be some addressing of this (especially communications skills) in
- schools. But I don't think I want the government at any level having the
- power handed to them to teach our kids anything so basic.
