Although since all five of them are stuffed in a minivan, there's a lot more fighting between them than actual conversation most of the time. Does that change?

It's very educational. I agree they have tech pressures we didn't have to deal with. My friend's daughter was having a melt down because she was FB unfriended by a guy she was crushing on. I think Twitter is full of tweets that didn't get filtered by a teen brain before they were unleashed.Leslie S.

Longer skirts split all the way up her thigh. And 'hooker' heels. And telling all her students that she used to be an 'exotic dancer'. o.O Granted, she is a very, VERY odd teacher, but... Still.<br /><br />I've also heard people acknowledge what teachers are sexist, or homophobic, or just plain gonna-snap-and-kill-somebody-someday.<br /><br />Or everyone will throw a fit when some dumb decision gets made - canceling school during light snowfall, or KEEPING school when every other school in the area was cancelled, for instance.<br /><br />Basically, we DO notice when adults do things that we think are dumb. And we talk about it. XD<br /><br />And yeah, college pressures suck. And everyone says, "No big deal, you can change your major later" etc. etc. etc. But that doesn't stop you from feeling like it's all permanent anyway...<br /><br />*shrug* :]Silent Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538537005860204111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-43670577974799023802011-09-17T11:35:02.395-07:002011-09-17T11:35:02.395-07:00Yay for the teenage perspective!

COLLEGE ANXIETIES. ...Speaking as a teenage girl...<br /><br />COLLEGE ANXIETIES. Gah. Too busy with things we have to do when there are plenty of things we just WANT to do...<br /><br />And honestly? At times, frustration with adults. Because at times, like when your teachers wear more revealing skirts than the kids, or they scream at the top of their lungs over some trivial manner, we really do think that they're lacking in common sense. Every once in a while, whether it's true or not, we see solutions to problems that adults just don't seem to get. *shrug* That's one thing I noticed that you didn't seem to mention here...Silent Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538537005860204111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-19223128702105819382011-09-17T11:22:44.863-07:002011-09-17T11:22:44.863-07:00My kids are toddlers, so this stuff is golden.
