First day back at school

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates

I think about this and try not to get too worked up about my kids. The same old, same old complaints of parents have been around forever. So I am working on not sweating the little things and concentrate on the big picture. Firing them up about life, to do the best they can in everything they do, etc.
