Also, turn off the social media until they are old enough to handle it. Like, 21. That's not to say that these are kids making the death threats but they are former kids who weren't raised properly.
Also, restrict your children so that they are not hanging around malls at age 12 and so that they are not playing "
Ding Dong Ditch" at 3AM when they are 18.
Also, bring back Social Studies in order to prepare children for local, national, and global civic life; in other words, to care about something more important than themselves. What a strange concept; caring about something other than oneself.
But these things take time, effort, and will. Besides, by now, many of today's parents were themselves raised that way. And Social Studies is a dead science. So don't look for any turnarounds soon.
Well, let's get back to sports so that we don't derail the thread. How 'bout them Rockies?
