What We Should Tell Our Children
WHAT WILL WE TELL OUR CHILDREN?
Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Lieberman recently asked the question, "What will we tell our children if every vote is not counted?"
Here is the response of one citizen: As a former teacher, I have been concerned about Joe Lieberman's question, " What will we tell our children?"
What we should, and must, tell our children is that if they fail to mark the right answer on an exam, or do not fill in the entire test, they will not get credit for their answers. If they do it often enough and if they do not ask for help or read and follow directions properly, they will fail.
We should tell them that when they are older and move to Florida, they must fully read their ballot and remove the entire Chad and not keep an entire nation waiting because of their mistakes.
We must also tell them to read and read well, to play by the rules and teach them that making excuses for their mistakes has led to a society of victims unable to take responsibility."
