Historians and fans won't rate LSU-Auburn as one of the best in the sport's history. But since the SEC split into divisions in 1992, these Tigers teams have played some of the closest, toughest, wackiest and most controversial games in college football.
Saturday's battle on The Plains will mark the 45th meeting between LSU and Auburn. The rivalry began in 1901, and LSU leads the series 24-19-1. This will also be their highest head-to-head ranking ever: LSU ranked sixth and Auburn fourth in the BCS standings.
Seven times since 1997, the winner of the LSU-Auburn game has determined who represented the West in the SEC Championship Game. The 2010 edition may also, as both teams are tied on top of the SEC West with identical 7-0 (4-0) records.
With that as the backdrop, here are the 10 most memorable games in the LSU-Auburn rivalry.

My Problem
the sound on my beloved 2011 macbook air stopped working (my fault, i think it happened when i kept hotplugging in my hdmi cable). It was very frustrating to gave no sound coming out of the mac. I could have taken it to the apple store, but decided to have a go repairing it myself! It might be cheaper plys i would learn some new skills and it would be more fun! I took a chance on it and bought the necessary tools from ifixit!
My Fix
it went spectacularly well! The toolkit from ifixit was so great and just perfect for the job! The online guide was clear and concise and easy to follow. It didnt take long at all. Plus it was so much fun opening up my mac and seeing what was inside! Thank you ifixit!
My Advice
all i can say is i am glad i decided to try repairing my mac myself. I feel so much better having repaired it myself and had a good time doing it!
My Problem
It was not working
My Fix
No problem except for plugging the speaker connection
My Advice
While changing your right speaker - which is a pretty straight forward operation, including to novices - just make sure that when you plug your speaker connector it is facing the right way, as it can enter the slot both ways.

"Respectful, accurate, and a great listen"
Having played a role in both obtaining the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and the risk management of the 1996 Games, I found the games-related aspects of the story both accurate and respectful. Also, the audio book was a great listen,
"Good Story"
The reader was miserable. I won't credit his role as being more than a reader. If this was my first audio book I'd be put off ever doing another.
Hard Core Yogi
"Strangely wicked story"
And absolutely thrilling from the start to the end. The characters are really developed. The story is full of constant intrigue!
"Quite fuzzy in the first few hours..."
It took me a while to understand what was going on. I thought I would have to go back a few chapters. I really didn't like the USA Private Team not being included in this book. I guess there are other "Private Teams" in other countries that we have to get to know.
"Another Great JP Novel"
Action, Suspense, & Intrigue. What more can one want? JP does it again!!
the narrator was so bad I couldn't get into the story. what a waste
"premise a bit outlandish, but still exciting"
Someone is killing Olympics personnel. It seems random and outrageous at first, then turns out to be purist-ly motivated. Quite a bit of a stretch.
This tries to be a deep dark look into the deranged mind of a damaged youth grown to sociopath. The narrator does his best to imbue it with insanity, but the story line remains weak and thin, and so the whole raison d'etre of the bad guy is doubtful. Some of the action is predictable, such as the involvement of the main guy's children. The first murder also disproves the bad guy's opinion of himself, but that issue never came up.
Either British nannies are not what we in America are led to believe they are, or this hero needs some parenting classes, or perhaps family therapy.
Nevertheless, one major cliche was avoided, namely a love interest between the main guy and either a fellow investigator or a possible victim. This omission was a relief. There are some good relationships to enjoy such as that between the main guy and his mother. The action and twists are acceptable, a better show of Mark Sullivan's ability than Fall Line, although they remained quickly and simplistically resolved. Why Patterson is involved is anyone's guess.
The narration is well-done, with different British Isles accents involved, some Eastern European and some American accents as well. The reader handles them well, and doesn't hurt the story.
This is not great detective / action / mystery stuff. It's okay and interesting, but not memorable. Probably a read once and return book. Sullivan's Robin Monarch series is much better, and the only thing of his worth anything.
I am a long haul owner operator truck driver, listening to audio books has been a salvation for me.
"private book 3
Story takes place in London, at the Olympic games. I was first surprised that the main character in the first two private books, Jack, was not a real big part of this book. I wondered if I would enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised. Good story and great characters. the Narrator was top notch and easy to listen to. moving on to book 4
"Different narrator needed."
Excellent story. Worst American accent I have ever heard. Sounds like he is mocking Jack Morgan.
"Different but really great"
I not only would I did re-play it several times. I truly enjoyed it.
I was very involved from the beginning
I saw that there was criticism of a British accent. What would you expect for a London story. If you are at all familiar with reviewing British movies or TV then the accent would not be a problem
I was excited and it kept me involved.
This was different Patterson and I am not sure having co-writers causes you to read or not read but I am finding that the stories that include other writers are different but so far I am enjoying them

Aerosmith, Kid Rock and Toby Keith to headline
The only thing that could possibly drown out the roars of engines in Milwaukee this weekend is the sounds of Kid Rock, Aerosmith, Toby Keith and dozens of other acts rocking out for Harley-Davidson's 110th anniversary.

Toby Keith adds Harley fest to roaring career strategy
Harley-Davidson would have been hard pressed to find as suitable a headliner as Toby Keith for the kickoff of its 110th anniversary celebration Thursday night.

He's owned several bikes over the years, including a couple of choppers currently, and has donated his Harleys to a few of his "I Love This Bar & Grill" restaurants.

Greyhounds Top No. 17 Princeton In Women's Lacrosse Home Opener
Feb. 22, 2014
BALTIMORE - Sophomore Molly Wolf recorded her second-straight double-digit save game to lead the No. 6 Loyola University Maryland women's lacrosse team to a 15-10 win over No. 17 Princeton in the team's home opener Saturday afternoon at Ridley Athletic Complex.
Wolf anchored the defense by turning back 11 shots, marking her fifth career double-digit save game, while Loyola (2-0) had eight Greyhounds net goals on offense, including three with hat tricks.
Senior Marlee Paton, junior Hannah Schmitt and junior Annie Thomas contributed three goals each, while Thomas tacked on two assists for a game-high five points. Junior Kara Burke added two goals, junior Taryn VanThof had one goal and two assists, junior Molly Hulseman had one goal and one assist and senior Ali Habicht and sophomore Maddy Blakeman rounded out the scoring with one goal each.
For Princeton (0-1), Anna Doherty and Sarah Lloyd led the way with three goals each.
Behind a hat trick from Paton in a span of 8:25, Loyola jumped out to a 4-1 lead by the 17:01 mark and never looked back. Habicht got the scoring started at 28:19, followed by Paton's first goal at 25:26. Princeton was able to get on the board at 22:59, but Paton notched the game's next two goals, at 20:02 and 17:01, before Thomas capped off the three-goal run at 16:47, giving Loyola a 5-1 advantage.
Princeton notched back-to-back goals at 13:43 and 11:43 before Burke and VanThof responded to keep Loyola ahead, 7-3. The Tigers scored the final goal of the half at 6:10, giving Loyola a 7-4 halftime advantage.
Blakeman recorded her first goal of the season at the 24:18 mark of the second half, followed by two more Tiger goals, bringing the score to 8-6. Loyola would go on a 6-1 run over the next nine minutes though, pushing its lead to 14-7 with 11:09 left to play. Schmitt had three goals in the run, while Hulseman, Thomas and Burke accounted for the others.
Lloyd attempted to string together a comeback for the Tigers, scoring back-to-back goals, but Thomas scored an unassisted goal at 3:03 to halt Princeton's streak and keep the Greyhounds ahead, 15-9.
Princeton then scored the game's final goal with 21 seconds remaining, bringing the final tally to 15-10.
VanThof finished the game with five draw controls, three ground balls and two caused turnovers, while junior Sydney Thomas had three draw controls.
Loyola will return to action on Wednesday when it heads to Johns Hopkins for a 5 p.m. contest. The game will be televised by ESPNU.

Methacton won the Pioneer Athletic Conference, edging Pope John Paul II, 1-0, Wednesday without hitting the ball out of the infield in the decisive rally.
Kyle Lowery was hit by a pitch to start the seventh. He moved to second on a sacrifice and third on an infield single. He scored when Pat O'Neil hit a ground ball to a drawn-in second baseman, just beating the throw.
John Wiedmayer threw a two-hitter to earn the win. He struck out 10 and walked one.

The North Central Branch of the Idaho Food Bank has decided to start a school pantry in Lapwai for families that have children attending school there. Cari Miller, the North Central Branch Manager at the Idaho Food Bank, says Lapwai was chosen due to the amount of low income families and the information received by students participating in the back pack program.
"A lot of the children on the weekends are sharing the food with their older siblings or with the rest of their family," said Miller. "And so the School Pantry Program is a partner program to the Backpack Program, so we're offering food to the rest of the family."
The food bank is asking the public for their help by donating refrigerators, freezers and shelves for these new school pantries. The Idaho Food Bank hopes to continue this trend and open three additional school pantries at other locations in the near future.

George claims he wants to hunt down "enemies of freedom." At the same time he strives to realign church and state, as well as take away power of individual states in favor of an all powerful federal government ( medical marijuana...) He wants to redefine freedom as well as the constitution and generally control your life whether you are American or not. The massive surge of anti-Bush sentiment found on this site is encouraging, I just pray that you will all vote this year.

Total dead in Iraq
|1. Enemy killed by allies
|3. Allies killed by enemy
|5. Lives saved by the war
(Note: I include in the "allies" the brave Iraqi troops and police fighting for their freedom, and dying in far larger numbers than their allies the western troops.)
Year after year, Iraq Body Count carefully collects a list of all known deaths in Iraq.
And yet they never show the slightest interest in who is doing the killing!
They never collect that information!
The left has also begun to notice that Obama has not ended the War on Islamism.
Absurdly, they blame Obama for killings done by Islamists (just as they blamed Bush for killings done by Islamists). Why not blame the people who are actually doing the killing?
"The Real Iraq Body Count: What You're Not Supposed to Know", by Glen Reinsford, makes the point:
saved by the Iraq War
This count
is based on Saddam's average rate of killing
when he was in power.

Artist biography
Lowry's reputation was slow to be established. In 1962 he was elected an RA. Lowry remained unconcerned by his growing fame and commercial success; from 1948 until his death he lived in the same small, unmodernised house in Cheshire.
Although Lowry is chiefly associated with street scenes and townscapes, his subject-matter was far more wide-ranging. He painted country scenes, as well as views of the seaside and of harbours. Though often represented as a reclusive man, his affection for relatives and close friends is shown in the Portrait of the Artist's Mother (1910; Salford, Mus. & A.G.). Occasionally he touched on current affairs, for example in Blitzed Site (1942; Salford, Mus. & A.G.), depicting the damage caused by a German air raid on Manchester in World War II, although recording events of this sort was never one of his main interests.

John Rearick "liked to walk." The 23-year-old Croydon man "never had a driver's license," a former neighbor said, "so he'd walk or ride his bike" to get around.
Rearick was walking on New Falls Road late July 22 when a Cadillac hit him. It slowed briefly, then sped off, police said. The graduate of Harry S Truman High School and Pennco Tech suffered severe head injuries and died six days later.
Jonathan H. Simmons, 27, of Bristol Township, turned himself in Tuesday, admitting he was driving the 2001 Cadillac DeVille that struck Rearick, according to court documents.

text: Sustainable Growth [LO3] In the chapter, we used Rosengarten Corporation to demonstrate how to calculate EFN. The ROE for Rosengarten is about 7.3 percent, and the plowback ratio is about 67 percent. If you calculate the sustainable growth rate for Rosengarten, you will find it is only 5.14 percent. In our calculation for EFN, we used a growth rate of 25 percent. Is this possible? (Hint: Yes. How?)

Stew. My Oma used to make this awesome rabbit stew... yummmmmm... Unfortunately I do not have her "recipe", as she was the kind of cook who did not use recipes or many measured ingredients. She just knew how, you know?
I have a mantra that I have spouted for years... "If I eat right, I feel right. If I feel right, I exercise right. If I exercise right, I think right. If I think right, I eat right..." Phil-SC
Hmmm...I haven't made rabbit stew in a while, thanks for the idea. Right now I have a killer goat stew brewing in the crock pot.

You have bunnies We're talking wild field rabbits. He he he.
I like rabbit stewed with onions, garlic, some kind of cured pork and tomatoes, with thyme or chilli.
I would recommend either braising it or having it in a stew! Rabbit tends to be lean, and cooking it in liquid will help it stay juicy, tender, and tasty.
(This reminds me of my mom's classic edition of The Joy of Cooking...recipes for rabbit, possum, goose, squirrel; you name the critter, they'd tell you how to cook it up)

So I got one paypal account and I got one credit card registered on it. I have one eBay account where I buy my own stuff and sell my own stuff, and a second eBay account where I only sell stuff that are from my old man's firm.
What is the limit of sellers account registered on the same paypal and credit card? Can anyone tell me or explain this to me. I googled it but got many answer.
I want to be sure, anyone?

One person can have as many eBay accounts as they want.
One PayPal account can have 8 eBay accounts attached to it.
So that means I can make 1 more ebay account and add it to my paypal account and all is legally OK?

Skip to comments.Have American Parents Got It All Backwards? [Why yes, yes they do.]
Posted on 01/07/2014 3:30:46 AM PST by Maceman
The eager new mom offering her insouciant toddler an array of carefully-arranged healthy snacks from an ice cube tray?
That was me.
The always-on-top-of-her-child's-play parent intervening during play dates at the first sign of discord?
That was me too.
We hold some basic truths as self-evident when it comes to good parenting. Our job is to keep our children safe, enable them to fulfill their potential and make sure they're healthy and happy and thriving.
The parent I used to be and the parent I am now both have the same goal: to raise self-reliant, self-assured, successful children. But 12 years of parenting, over five years of living on and off in Japan, two years of research, investigative trips to Europe and Asia and dozens of interviews with psychologists, child development experts, sociologists, educators, administrators and parents in Japan, Korea, China, Finland, Germany, Sweden, France, Spain, Brazil and elsewhere have taught me that though parents around the world have the same goals, American parents like me (despite our very best intentions) have gotten it all backwards.
We need to let 3-year-olds climb trees and 5-year-olds use knives.
Imagine my surprise when I came across a kindergartener in the German forest whittling away on a stick with a penknife. His teacher, Wolfgang, lightheartedly dismissed my concern: "No one's ever lost a finger!"
Similarly, Brittany, an American mom, was stunned when she moved her young family to Sweden and saw 3- and 4-year-olds with no adult supervision bicycling down the street, climbing the roofs of playhouses and scaling tall trees with no adult supervision. The first time she saw a 3-year-old high up in a tree at preschool, she started searching for the teacher to let her know. Then she saw another parent stop and chat with one of the little tree occupants, completely unfazed. It was clear that no one but Brittany was concerned.
"I think of myself as an open-minded parent," she confided to me, "and yet here I was, wanting to tell a child to come down from a tree."
Why it's better: Ellen Hansen Sandseter, a Norwegian researcher at Queen Maud University in Norway, has found in her research that the relaxed approach to risk-taking and safety actually keeps our children safer by honing their judgment about what they're capable of. Children are drawn to the things we parents fear: high places, water, wandering far away, dangerous sharp tools. Our instinct is to keep them safe by childproofing their lives. But "the most important safety protection you can give a child," Sandseter explained when we talked, "is to let them take... risks."
Consider the facts to back up her assertion: Sweden, where children are given this kind of ample freedom to explore (while at the same time benefitting from comprehensive laws that protect their rights and safety), has the lowest rates of child injury in the world.
Children can go hungry from time-to-time.
In Korea, eating is taught to children as a life skill and as in most cultures, children are taught it is important to wait out their hunger until it is time for the whole family to sit down together and eat. Koreans do not believe it's healthy to graze or eat alone, and they don't tend to excuse bad behavior (like I do) by blaming it on low blood sugar. Instead, children are taught that food is best enjoyed as a shared experience. All children eat the same things that adults do, just like they do in most countries in the world with robust food cultures. (Ever wonder why ethnic restaurants don't have kids' menus?). The result? Korean children are incredible eaters. They sit down to tables filled with vegetables of all sorts, broiled fish, meats, spicy pickled cabbage and healthy grains and soups at every meal.
Why it's better: In stark contrast to our growing child overweight/obesity levels, South Koreans enjoy the lowest obesity rates in the developed world. A closely similar-by-body index country in the world is Japan, where parents have a similar approach to food.
Instead of keeping children satisfied, we need to fuel their feelings of frustration.
The French, as well as many others, believe that routinely giving your child a chance to feel frustration gives him a chance to practice the art of waiting and developing self-control. Gilles, a French father of two young boys, told me that frustrating kids is good for them because it teaches them the value of delaying gratification and not always expecting (or worse, demanding) that their needs be met right now.
Why it's better: Studies show that children who exhibit self-control and the ability to delay gratification enjoy greater future success. Anecdotally, we know that children who don't think they're the center of the universe are a pleasure to be around. Alice Sedar, Ph.D., a former journalist for Le Figaro and a professor of French Culture at Northeastern University, agrees. "Living in a group is a skill," she declares, and it's one that the French assiduously cultivate in their kids.
Children should spend less time in school.
Children in Finland go outside to play frequently all day long. "How can you teach when the children are going outside every 45 minutes?" a recent American Fulbright grant recipient in Finland, who was astonished by how little time the Finns were spending in school, inquired curiously of a teacher at one of the schools she visited. The teacher in turn was astonished by the question. "I could not teach unless the children went outside every 45 minutes!"
The Finnish model of education includes a late start to academics (children do not begin any formal academics until they are 7 years old), frequent breaks for outdoor time, shorter school hours and more variety of classes than in the US. Equity, not high achievement, is the guiding principle of the Finnish education system.
While we in America preach the mantra of early intervention, shave time off recess to teach more formal academics and cut funding to non-academic subjects like art and music, Finnish educators emphasize that learning art, music, home economics and life skills is essential.
Why it's better: American school children score in the middle of the heap on international measures of achievement, especially in science and mathematics. Finnish children, with their truncated time in school, frequently rank among the best in the world.
Thou shalt spoil thy baby.
Tomo, a 10-year-old boy in our neighborhood in Japan, was incredibly independent. He had walked to school on his own since he was 6 years old, just like all Japanese 6-year-olds do. He always took meticulous care of his belongings when he came to visit us, arranging his shoes just so when he took them off, and he taught my son how to ride the city bus. Tomo was so helpful and responsible that when he'd come over for dinner, he offered to run out to fetch ingredients I needed, helped make the salad and stir-fried noodles. Yet every night this competent, self-reliant child went home, took his bath and fell asleep next to his aunt, who was helping raise him.
In Japan, where co-sleeping with babies and kids is common, people are incredulous that there are countries where parents routinely put their newborns to sleep in a separate room. The Japanese respond to their babies immediately and hold them constantly.
While we think of this as spoiling, the Japanese think that when babies get their needs met and are loved unconditionally as infants, they more easily become independent and self-assured as they grow.
Why it's better: Meret Keller, a professor at UC Irvine, agrees that there is an intriguing connection between co sleeping and independent behavior. "Many people throw the word "independence" around without thinking conceptually about what it actually means," she explained.
We're anxious for our babies to become independent and hurry them along, starting with independent sleep, but Keller's research has found that co-sleeping children later became more independent and self-reliant than solitary sleepers, dressing themselves or working out problems with their playmates on their own.
Children need to feel obligated.
In America, as our kids become adolescents, we believe it's time to start letting them go and giving them their freedom. We want to help them be out in the world more and we don't want to burden them with family responsibilities. In China, parents do the opposite: the older children get, the more parents remind them of their obligations.
Eva Pomerantz of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign has found through multiple studies that in China, the cultural ideal of not letting adolescents go but of reminding them of their responsibility to the family and the expectation that their hard work in school is one way to pay back a little for all they have received, helps their motivation and their achievement.
Even more surprising: She's found that the same holds for Western students here in the US: adolescents who feel responsible to their families tend to do better in school.
The lesson for us: if you want to help your adolescent do well in school make them feel obligated.
I parent differently than I used to. I'm still an American mom -- we struggle with all-day snacking, and the kids could use more practice being patient. But 3-year-old Anna stands on a stool next to me in the kitchen using a knife to cut apples. I am not even in earshot when 6-year-old Mia scales as high in the beech in our yard as she feels comfortable. And I trust now that my boys (Daniel, 10, and Benjamin, 12) learn as much out of school as they do in the classroom.
The correct link:
Almost every point is what we decided to do as homeschoolers. I can say by the grace of God, I think we did it right!
Yesterday I came across an article that claimed the reason farm kids had fewer allergies both as children and adults is because they grew up in a 'dirty' environment which exposed them to lots of allergens as kids.
The real motivation for helicopter parenting comes down to this: if my child gets hurt or misses a social event, what will the other parents think of ME?
children need to run free and take chances. Otherwise they grow up to be Julia and Pajama Boy.
I agree with that totally. They build healthy immune systems that are bug resistant. They also get lots of Vitamin D from the sun.
I recently ran into a young American who was quite frankly stunned to see Czech kids climbing trees, riding bikes without adult supervision, and generally engaging in what most Czechs would describe as normal childhood activities.
Sure, sometimes they might break an arm or skin a knee or elbow, but that's part of life.
I have often said, "The best way to ruin a kid's good time is to get the parents involved." Children need to learn to make and enforce their own rules, disfuse discord, improvise and compromise, and solve their own problems, without adults screwing up the learning process. Adults need to allow children to explore and be adventurous within reason (i.e., no hiking in the middle of the freeway).
The real statistics.
Americans of Japanese ancestry outscore Japanese. Americans of Chinese ancestry outscore Chinese. Americans of Swedish ancestry outscore Swedes.
The only group for which this is not true are Finns. Americans of Finnish ancestry score slightly lower than Finns in Finland.
I have seen that hypothesis around for years. I am not sure of its validity. I grew up on a farm, and have plenty of allergies or food sensitivities. OTOH, I rarely get sick from microorganisms.
Surprise, the parents of the 50s were better at raising children than parents of today.
"...what will the other parents think of me?..."
Absolutely right - you nailed it. The helicopter parenting extremes out there have EVERYTHING to do with fellow parent peer pressure. Even 20 years ago when mine were little, the playgroup mothers tried to outdo themselves by not EVER saying no (because it might injure the fragile developing ego) and there definitely was (covert) peer pressure to be the most lenient. This has gotten worse since then.
I quit the playgroups at a certain point because I couldn't stand the bad behaviors that were being allowed.
Montessori school teaches the same
but thee plain fact of the matter is it is just hard work raising kids and kids are all different and there is no one right answer
And you don't have to let the kids play in traffic, you can take them skiing when they are 5 and go every year, you will teach the same competence
the issue is having their receration consist of video games
parents have to get up and make arrangements for the beach and for the skiing, tennis etc and then not be afraid to spend the dough to take them
I have heard of parents of minimal means but resourceful taking their kids on trips out of the country, etc. A lot depends on the parent being willing to get off their duff
Another version of "Why America Sucks" by a democrat. It is funny that the writer doesn't know that a lot of normal parents teach here their kids independence. My 6 year old is in alarm clock training for the New Year. She's 2 for 2 so far.
How did this manage to get printed in the leftist HuffPo?
Great article!
That's interesting !
Come from Someone who did well in School, but who see's the vile Prussian Education system for what it is, I say that could not be more correct.
Hell I remember when you only Totaled 45 of Recess a Day.
Do you remember sitting there for HOURS and listening to lectures? Boring!
Simplest is always the best, especially when it comes to Education, more Federal Money won't solve it. (But it does solve the $$$ going into certain peoples pockets problem.
> Sure, sometimes they might break an arm or skin a knee or elbow, but thats part of life.
Yes it is and having seen the results of helicoptet parenting for many years watching children go from infants to adults I can say that it stunts their emtional growth and maturity and makes them dependent on others, lazy, and less likely to succeed in life. Kids need to experience the roller oaster of life, its frustrations, disappointments, and hardships. It makes them much better prepared for dealing with it when they get out on their own.
I have seen a lot of kids neglected which is the exact opposite of helicopter parenting and that turns them hopeless and lazy not to mention lacking any sort of skills. It's a balance. The parents that helicopter are not the problem.
Look, I am a helicopter parent and I can tell you, the "parents" I am around think I am a freak because I am a straight arrow. I do not cotton to kids drinking underage, lying to get kids into movies they are not supposed to see, leaving kids at home so I can go to LA with my "boyfriend" for a few days, and other assorted shocking stuff that goes on every fricking day. I am here and if my daughter is at a Christian conference with a group of girls and calls me with a headache and wants to come home, you best believe I am reachable immediately by cell phone, sober, and ready willing and able to get in the car and go get her asap. Yes, I guard my children. I make sure they have new tires, new windshield wipers and batteries before the ice hits, I do not want them broken down to be preyed on by criminals.
I cook clean and I stand guard at the house. If the kids come here, I will order pizza. But it is very much like the 50s at my house. I am here constantly and sober. They know I am concerned about them and expect them to be on the straight and narrow. They know I am not out running around chasing men or ruining lives. They know I go to church. Do what is expected. Pay the bills.
Omit just one demographic from the American children's scores and we score very near the "top of the heap".
> I have seen a lot of kids neglected which is the exact opposite of helicopter parenting and that turns them hopeless and lazy not to mention lacking any sort of skills. Its a balance. The parents that helicopter are not the problem.
I agree. Moderation and balance is the key. It says it everywhere in the BIble in msny forms.
That explain why American kids are whiney demanding spoiled selfish fraidy-cat brats?
I have to disagree. I think that they are a very big problem.
The urge to control is a dangerous one to feed; it grows and grows to consume the person being controlled and the controller.
A neglected child can still succeed through inner resources or interaction with outsiders like teachers. They are better off than the coddled child who never develops self discipline and decisiveness.
The amount of enterprise and tenacity crushed by helicoptering is beyond belief and warps the sense of self, self reliance and the balance between self and community for a lifetime. The sense of fear and distrust conveyed by helicopter parents colors the perceptions of the growing child and effects the child's relationships with other family members, school personnel and friends. Its a crippling burden disguised as love and concern.
The parent is unable to deal with their own anxiety and transfers it to the child...selfishness disguised as love.
"children need to run free and take chances. Otherwise they grow up to be Julia and Pajama Boy."
And want to take their parents with them to job interviews.
Link to Forbes article:
The best way to ruin a kids good time is to get ** mothers ** involved.
Fixed it.
It's also true that the top half of American students compete well with the top half of students from other countries. The bottom half of American students, however, are abysmally poor. People tend to look at the overall average which does not tell the whole story.
I didn't read it as a "why America sucks" piece. It's more like a "what we've been doing is wrong" piece.
It's apolitical, IMO. But factually enriched. That makes it better than 900% (yeah - I understand percentages, LOL) of liberal articles.
That is not helicoptering parenting. That is being a loving parent. I congratulate you. You could probably not conceive of what many mean by a helicopter parent. They control every aspect of their children's life. They are involved in every facet from daily calls to teachers and coaches, to overseeing any activity themselves to be sure it goes "right". Making sure their child can get into Harvard when they are still in kindergarten. Please realize I meant no disrespect to your style of parenting. I share the values you espoused. But I agree firmly with the author that children need manageable risks and to make choices and see the consequences from early in life. Responsibility and judgement are learned from experience and from models in their everyday life.
Today's parents are completely the slave property of their children. And they think it's the way it's supposed to be done.
The first time that 3yr old nicks her finger and requires any medical care child services will take ALL the children away.
Ditto that 6yr old falling out of a tree.
THIS is the reason American parents are so overprotective. ANY ER visits lend suspicion on the parents and are a risk for a visit from child services. All it takes is the 'judgement' of one medical professional in that ER (nurses, doctors, etc) that mom/dad were inattentive or negligent. And it's tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees later that you MIGHT get your kids back out of foster care.
Because she is a liberal bitch, it's all about her.
Did I miss the discipline part of this selfie?
They never ate sweets and junk food between meals, because the beating or grounding or extra work they had to do wasn't worth a piece of candy.
Like all kids, they tried and lied and got caught and paid the price.
Every thing comes with a price, both to the child as well as the parent.
No good father wants to be the bad guy and punish the child, but if you don't you get the smart mouthed, foul mouthed kid that thinks the world revolves around them, and all that goes with it.
We don't run the heat high. My friend said she didn't know how my kids weren't sick all the time but I bet they would get sick if they stayed at her house with high heat.
Bottom line: young children love order and discipline, to have very described boundaries of behavior, and parents who are stable enough so that the children know where they stand.
Captain William Bligh, of HMS Bounty, should be remembered as a brilliant First Officer, and a terrible Captain. The reason was that he wanted to have two things: to have a ship with strict and orderly discipline; and to have a crew that loved him as a friend.
So life under his command was an unpredictable see-saw. One moment, Bligh would forget his place as a leader and try to be extra nice to his crew; but then he would feel guilty, and express harsh discipline on them. But that would make him feel bad, so he would overdo trying to be nice again.
It drove his crew to mutiny.
But it is a superb lesson to parents.
A parent must always be a parent. That is their relationship with their children until they are adults, and even then, "filial piety", respect for one's parents, should remain. There must be a system for rewards, both a very firm quid pro quo for *select* behaviors, not all good behaviors; and the standard set of rewards for things like holidays. Of course this does not mean cold or heartless.
"My own daughter told me that my generation sucks at raising kids. lol Of course she did not mean her father and I."
My youngest went through a phase where she thought I was a terrible father. After she went to college and did some work study/internships dealing with broken families and neglected kids, I was suddenly a great father.
Whenever I see lists of things that other countries "do right", comparing them to the things our young country is still figuring out, I get defensive:)
(My 6 yr old will wipe the floor with her competitors when her time comes.)
I grew up on a farm and I was sick all the time as a kid. But when I reached the 7th grade, an internal switch flipped and I rarely ever get sick.
I agree with almost everything in the article and raised my children with great freedom along with strong discipline. Very old-fashioned. The only thing I could not manage was sleeping in the same room or same bed with a baby. They're so noisy!
concur - I take every country comparison on ed with a grain of salt as the measurements are not always equivalent. It is not mandatory that all kids in Japan and China go to high school for example. Often the tests aren't administered in non-prep trade schools, etc...

Abbeville closes out season with win over Rayne
By Phillip Laperouse
ABBEVILLE – The Abbeville Wildcats and the Rayne Wolves entered Friday night's district finale both looking at the future and hopes of sending their seniors off on a good note.
In search of their first homecoming win in nearly five years, the Wildcats seemed to have had plans of ending that streak picking up the 19-8 win.
"The kids told me before the game that Abbeville had only won two home games in the last four years and one homecoming win in at least five years" said Abbeville head coach Troy Breaux. "We definitely wanted to end that streak and send our seniors out with a win."
After losing a couple of games earlier in the year that could have gone either way, the Wildcats (2-8, 2-3) needed to jump on the Wolves early.
AHS quarterback R.J. Frederick jump started the offense when he found senior receiver Branden Trahan on an 88 yard touchdown pass for the 6-0 lead with 5:30 to play in the first quarter.
"We played really hard tonight and had a couple of breaks go our way tonight for a change" Breaux said.
One of those breaks came after a 62-yard Rayne completion was fumbled at the AHS five-yard line and recovered by Trahan as the Wildcats regained possession.
With less than a minute to play until halftime and the Wolves trailing by only six, the Wildcats looked for a little insurance. As time expired in the first half, Trahan was able to sneak past the secondary and haul in the Frederick pass from 48 yards out for the 12-0 lead.
"We really wanted to send these seniors out with a win" said junior quarterback R.J. Frederick who had over 200 yards passing and three touchdowns on the night.
The "big play" was what hurt the Wolves all night, but the final score of the night for the Wildcats came on and 11 yard Frederick pass to Brett Meaux with just over one minute to play in the third quarter.
"I think this was the best game our offense has played all year" Breaux said. "And other than one or two plays our defense played well the majority of the night."
The Wolves (1-9,1-4) were able to find the end zone with 10:02 to play in the game on a hook up from five yards out, chipping into the AHS lead at 19-8. That proved to be the final scoring of the night for either team as Abbeville held on for the 11 point victory.
Frederick paced the Wildcat attack with 219 yards, completing 10-14 with three touchdowns through the air. Frederick also had 63 yards rushing on 11 carries. Gerald Minnick ran for 48 yards on ten carries, and Tony Boudreaux had 23 yards on 11 carries. Branden Trahan led all receivers with 154 yards on five receptions with two touchdowns.
