Having seen the results of the "modern" "dating", I am in favor of the very old fashioned protocol for dating which includes a chaperon.  Raging hormones need a "Governor" to keep them from "over revving the engine" and destroying the vehicle.

Unfortunately children do not realize just how special they are.

The problem starts in the modern Public School System.

I was born and raised in the educational community, and I know what the "great leaders" in education think of people who do not follow their ways.   I listened to their "private" conversations.

The mind of a child is a marvelous thing.  Right from birth they start investigating this world they are in. 
If they are so fortunate as to have parents who have tapped into Wisdom, then they are indeed very fortunate. 

At one time we were the best place in the world to get an education, but now we are 28th in the world according to the last figures I saw.  So “what in the world happened?”.

Opposing the parents, who want the best for the children, are the miscreants who have learned that if they can get into that child’s mind and twist it like unto the corkscrew they have for a “mind”, then they can destroy that child and make it into an image of themselves.

It is interesting to note that the first Public Schools were created so that the people could learn to read The Bible and use it to guide their lives and it was the Bible which was their textbook.

Now that they have “kicked God out of the schools” (they are fools enough to believe that they have ANY control over God) and have changed the curriculum into a process of brain “washing” where the student is told over and over that “your parents are too ignorant to answer your questions, so come to your teacher if you have any questions”. 
If they can get that programming into the child's mind then anything the parents attempts to teach a child is overridden by that brain dirting.

The use of psychology is modern "schools" is so well tuned that few of the students will survive that brain dirting.

Thankfully there are real teachers out there and in spite of the miscreants fullest effort, they train their students to think. 

Having been exposed to the miscreants techniques for these many years, I am amazed that there are students who survive their “education” and are capable of cogent thought. 

Thankfully there are those students who do no like to follow their programming, but want to find out why "the numbers don't add up" if they use that which they were programmed to believe, so they will look and look and look to find Truth.

One might think that the most valuable asset of a nation might be it’s natural resources such as Oil, Gold, Silver, crop production and the like. 

Those natural resources are very helpful, but the most valuable resource of any nation is it’s children. 

If you can destroy the child’s desire to learn, and for those who still desire to learn, fill their minds full with fables, then you can control (own) them.

What are the foundational “lessons” children are now taught? 
 
“You can’t fight city hall”. "The only way to take control is to go out and destroy that which you don’t control". Does the rioting in the streets come to mind? 

“There is NO God”.  "Only simpletons and senile old people believe in God",

“Everything evolved from the slime of the oceans”

"Since everything evolved from slime, you also evolved from slime and you are no better than a rat". 

"It is nature you should worship and protect at all costs"

"Since you are no better than a rat" then “If it feels good, DO IT”. 

Of course evolved humans need leaders because humans are so stupid that they are incapable of thinking for themselves and getting “their fair share” means that those “leaders” will have to provide the means to do that.

If you want to conquer a nation, then you MUST destroy the children.  

Do the objectives and actions of the miscreants who run the “educational” system come to mind? 

That goofy tenured (you can't fire them)  professor who keeps pushing “progressive" liberalism (Socialism/Communism) come to mind?

 
In reality the child (and all humans for that matter) are so very special.

If there is anything a child needs to learn is that they are a very special creation.

Their fingerprints are unique.
Their palm prints are unique.
Their facial characteristics are unique.
Their ear design is unique.
Their toe prints are unique.
Their footprints are unique.
Their DNA is unique.

And any of these characteristics can be used to identify them.

NO ONE has ever had those unique characteristics, and no one will ever have them again.

Each person has certain abilities which may never be seen again.

If they understood these things, they would have far too much respect for themselves to be allowed to be dragged down and down and down until they find themselves being treated like just so much trash.

That "best friend" who tries to get you to do things you know are wrong is not your friend, but is your worst enemy.   A true friend loves you and respects you and want's to see you become successful and to have a happy life and that TRUE friend will warn you to stay away from a cheap thrill.

To put it very simply, you are a very special creation of God.

Now what are you going to do with such a precious individual?

Will you become all that you can be?

or

Will you be someones useful idiot and trash out that unique and special person?

Your call !
