once you are adult you can claim “oh my freedom” and all that stuff… kids have no such luxury, it is on parents/teachers/community/policy/… to get them as best

once you are adult you can claim “oh my freedom” and all that stuff… kids have no such luxury, it is on parents/teachers/community/policy/… to get them as best we can to adulthood and hence these two are not comparable. should we let kids snort coke during recess might be though (we don’t)
- lmm 2y agoBanning something that you ban for adults as well is defensible. Insisting kids follow a standard of "healthy" that you won't apply to yourself smacks of hypocrisy and bullying.
- bdangubic 2y agoyou cannot possibly be serious, right? no “learn from my mistakes eh?” if I am a heavy smoker, heavy drinker etc I have to make sure my 11-year old lights up with me and cracks open a bottle after a long day in school…? still hoping you are joking though…

- s1artibartfast 2y agoI thought we are talking about cellphones here. Yeah, a lot of there time hypocrisy exists. Hence, leading by example is a good tool. You're the only one trying to apply to every single edge case imaginable. No, you don't have to stop driving a car either just because you won't let your toddler take the wheel.
