Indeed I have, for decades. If the little *******s cant understand a
simple "Dont Touch"..it means they also cant understand instructions
on handling sharp tools in school shops. So it comes down to either
submoronic children or poor parenting is the root cause of those 3
generations getting ZERO manual work skills..because the schools have
removed all the sharp tools after 100 yrs of teaching manual skills in
wood and metal shop classes.

You arent thinking this through...or you have been out of school
far..far..far too long.



Gunner, you're WAY off-base with this. I completely agree that kids
aren't taught to work with their hands, and that it's a disaster for our
country and society. But THIS isn't about obeying, or learning, or
manual skills.

Most of the kids in a Nemours facility are little ones. Kids like to
touch things. In fact, that very curiousity is _part_of_ the skill set
you claim they don't have. The tendency of little ones to touch, feel,
tug, pull, and remove shiny things is the 'natural' beginning of
technical competency.

He confirmed that the kids WON'T be in a position to touch this
particular tree, so I don't see a lot of problems with using curls (or
even det-cord) for decorations, as long as it can't endanger any LITTLE
KIDS.

Lloyd

I was talking far broader than your facility.

Gunner, back from his angiogram...14 hours later
