I do know some teachers who work with very high risk kids. I can imagine some of these findings presented in an appeal to get more funding for their work as they are horribly under resourced to meet the need.
If you don’t explain your intentions it comes off as brainwashing the viewer. Because otherwise they’re just mindlessly taking in whatever you’re telling them.
So what are we supposed to take from this?
> When we're young, we have so little control over their lives [...] Then we turn 18 and we're expected to be "adults" and figure things out. > > If we fail, we are punished. > > We are blamed for not going to college [...]
Sorry, what?
These are evolutionary advantages and disadvantages to both strategies. In a highly stressed environment individuals who are less dependent on parental protection will be more likely to survive. The advantage of long childhoods and high parental involvement is that the individual will evolve sophisticated behaviors.
To simply assume everyone is exactly the same at birth and modified by society to an outcome is a vast simplification that requires substantial scientific justification, you cannot just assume it given the variations of parenting we see in nature.
(Am I missing the irony or something?)
