Pusillanimous

The American Academy of Pediatricians have concluded that teenagers are not getting the recommended 8-to-81/2 hours nightly sleep resulting in poor academic school performance, bad diet habits (leading to obesity) and depression. Those doctors suggest that our American schools should start at a later time; not before 8:30 AM. Well kiss my ass, please don't tell the parents to insist that Missy and Junior get home before 8PM (school nights) and haul ass to bed before 10PM !
Let's acknowledge once and for all, not all BUT many parents today are enablers who give impetus to many problems facing their kids and that is an irrefutable fact. Parents are simply reluctant to hold children to a tighter rein and insist on greater accountability. We note more teens with social network devices at an earlier age and parents who refuse to monitor the time spent by children networking. Check out any school parking lot and note the number of student driven autos. Most parents perceive these autos as necessary.
Here is the obvious question: Do you really believe that employers, in the real world, give a rat's ass how much sleep their employees get ? The only thing 'boss man' cares about is PRODUCTIVITY ...another word meaning... 'accountability.'


Pusillanimous means timid, cowardly, faint-hearted, spineless. My father was not a pussy-foot parent!!
