I might have went a touch overboard about the way we conform our children. That was not my original point at all and idk how I got there and would like to state my kids seem pretty happy to go to school because it's where their friends are. I just got side tracked on conformity as a whole and wondered what are we teaching our kids? To believe authority figures or have a mind of their own. There's probably a balance to this equation that I am missing so I will hand it over to you to see where your post on it goes!!!
