Maturity level of younger students

Name: Anonymous 2006-09-05 14:43

In elementary school kids are not taught certain subjects or given certain books due to their concepts or content.  Movies with mature themes require parental permission rather than the student deciding.  Mature subjects such as psychology or sociology are not taught.  Anything that involves questioning society, laws, or understanding violence and sex is avoided, censored, innapropriate and un-Christian.  So in Junior High this becomes laxed, and more in High School, and finally college were subjects are unleashed, using swear words, violence, sexual descriptions.  But all this time the student has been taught this is "bad" or "wrong" or should be censored and avoided.  You aren't supposed to use naughty words in plays or movies or books, so these college books must be abnormal.  Unless these are the normal materials, meaning the whole time you weren't being given the chance to see what's real and normal and what's out there in the world. 

Censorship and ageism.  This is innapropriate because we think it is, we have religious beliefs, we don't want to offend your parents, and we don't want to risk this chance of saying a dirty word and telling you to be mature about it.  You're a kid.  You're not supposed to be mature.  Stick to kids books.  Never pick up a book in the adult section of the bookstore.  It has bad words.

The concepts of letting kids be innocent and just kids is not new. It has existed forever and I don't see anything wrong with it. Why expose kids to bad words so they will inevitably use them all the time at the most inappropriate of moments, when they haven't yet understood how to act respectfully in society. Same goes for the other mature topics. Kids are supposed to be innocent and I don't see any reason to ruin their innocence.

Swearing is the price we pay for not being uneducated peasant slaves under a fascist/communist regime. I say we go around swearing all the time and not give a fuck.

Swear words are really just words. Why create them if you're not going to use them? The whole concept of inappropriate words is absurd.

Post Error
There was an error posting your message: The message you entered appears to contain one of the words that GameFaqs has deemed inappropriate for use under any circumstances.

The only acceptable means of using this word is to completely block it out (i.e. "****"). Partial blocking, misspelling, or other attempts to use the word is considered a censor bypass, and a severe terms of service violation.

There are inappropriate concepts, therefore there are inappropriate words.

If a kid can't read Mark Twain because it says "Niggers," then the kid has to learn and unsterstand that racism exists, but in some other context such as rap.  Kids learn everything eventually, but adults feel the need to prevent or postpone this knowledge to preserve their innocent minds from society, meaning they won't get to know the real world for some time.  And hope that they don't continue thinking gullibly into their adult life.

Elementary ethics and philosophy would work, but no one has the balls to tell someone else's kid to think for themselves.

Children were expected to act like adults at age 12.  Children have lead countries and empires at age 16.  Children were taught all the important subjects of the world early, read all the great works early, and were well educated early, rather than waiting until 18 to get started.  This is why our country is so behind, we accept the myth that adulthood starts at 18, and spend the invervening time watching TV.  The movie Blast from the Past gives an example of worldliness education of which I'm talking about.

Don't change these.
