As a member of the American Home Economics Association, I receive a monthly publication entitled, “Journal of Home Economics.” In the December issue, an article appeared by Dr. Walter L. Thomas, director of a project on Student Values in Grand Rapids, Michigan regarding today’s youth and their values.
The article was so outstanding that I would like to quote a section of it regarding the superior generation • our youth' “We have produced a supeftn generation and on’t know how to cope with it. You as teachers, parents, and community workers ought to put a flower in your lapel, your thumbs under your armpits, and say ‘Boy, what a good group we are,’ because you have succeeded in all of those social studies classes, homes, churches, Boys Scouts, and Daughters of the American Revolution. You have said: ‘Children you must get involved. You must tell it like it is. You must help others who are less fortunate. Don’t let anyone boss you around unless he has a good reason and justification for his actions. Money isn’t everything in life. Everyone is truly equal. Be true to what you think is right regardless of what it means. Don’t do as I do, but do as I say. Now just sit back and take credit. Any establishment or system that can do all that can’t really be all dad.”
“Did we really mean to our youth, ‘Don’t do as I say, but do as I do?” We now are put in the position of saying to all of our youth, ‘Not so fast, not that much, not quite like that.”
Maybe the above is part of the
key in understanding the youth and their attitudes of today. It’s something to think about at any rate.
